How To Do A Good Audit Prep

By Stephen Thomas


Audits can arouse a mixture of feelings. Thinking about the questions and the agent who will do the job can make you nervous. Some of the questions can be tricky but there is nothing to be afraid of. You should sit down and think on how to pass this type of text. An agent sent by IRS carries out the session but you are allowed to come with the lawyer. Audit prep helps people to overcome the fear.

Even though the agent conducts the interviews, you cannot be forced into seating down and answering question that you do not want to. A request for the session should be passed to you. Interviews are supposed to be voluntary and not demanded. This is your right and there is no person who should take it from you.

When the interview is ongoing you can ask any question you want. If you feel that there is something that the IRS representatives have not clarified you can pardon them to do so. If the session becomes uncomfortable you should are free to leave at you own will. In case your lawyer arrives when the process is ongoing you should feel free to go and talk to him. It is your right and you should be granted this chance.

Since there are two parties involved here, you have to set the boundaries. Tell the interviwer the questions and subjects you want to engage in. Only talk about what is in the topic and avoid different subjects. If a question is not in the topics you can ignore it or caution the IRS representative.

An agent should never dictate you the time he wants to interview you. Agents should agree to what the subject sets. You agents argue that they are not available at the time you want them to, you can tell them to go and come later. Here you are the one who is in charge of setting the time limits. If you have already hit the limit and the agents feels that there is more they need to fing out tell them to leave if for another day.

At times people can let out information without their knowledge. The best way to avoid such a situation is by only answering questions precisely. Do not go into details that are not part of the questions. Subjects that are irrelevant should be left out.

It would be a great mistake if you start arguing. Try to be calm and avoid situations that cause arguments. Arguments only mean that you are wrong and you are defending your lies. Never give such impression to an agent. Threats do not help and you should never threaten IRS. Be honest in everything you are asked about.

Lawyers have more knowledge when it comes to these matters and you should respect their present. They can object a question paused to you when they realize it is misplaced. It is your right to get a break when necessary and you should feel free to do so. Never meet an agent for an interview without informing your lawyers.
