Why would you ever want to re-do an IRS exam?

March 27, 2009

As improbable as it sounds, sometimes you want to have the IRS redo your audit - when it goes badly, for example. Tax Attorney Peter Pappas explains:

The most frequent use of the Audit Reconsideration process we see is when the IRS prepares a non-filing taxpayer’s tax returns for him or her...
If you have been audited or the IRS has prepared a tax return for you, do not stop searching for your tax records.

When you find them immediately contact an experienced tax professional and inquire about the availability of an audit reconsideration.

Read the whole thing, especially if you've let the IRS be your return preparer.
