An audit typically begins with a notice explaining what the IRS is examining. You may need to provide records, respond to information requests, and negotiate findings. Our Richmond-area team represents clients through administrative audits and U.S. Tax Court when necessary.
Year-round planning is ideal. Proactive strategies before year-end — and before major transactions — help minimize surprises and identify savings opportunities for individuals and Virginia businesses alike.
