Frequently Asked Questions

Many situations benefit from both. CPAs excel at preparation and planning; tax attorneys are essential when disputes, audits, or legal interpretation of tax law are involved. At Bourdow, Bowen & Ellis, P.C., attorneys and an in-house CPA work together on complex matters.

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.
