Please Understand
Every tax situation is unique. The IRS has significant discretion in how it handles tax debts, and outcomes vary based on individual circumstances. We cannot guarantee specific results. EZQ Group prepares tax returns and organizes the records and documentation a taxpayer files. We do not practice before the IRS: we do not represent taxpayers, contact the IRS on their behalf, or negotiate settlements.
Common Questions
Audit FAQs
I just got an audit notice. What should I do?
Don't panic, and don't respond yet. Call us immediately. Audit notices have deadlines, and the wrong response can make things worse. We'll review your notice and tell you exactly what to do next.
Do I have to meet with the auditor?
If the IRS or a state auditor requires a meeting, you or a credentialed representative - a CPA, Enrolled Agent, or tax attorney - will need to attend. What we do is make sure you walk in prepared. We organize your records, prepare your written responses, and go through each of the auditor's requests with you so nothing catches you off guard.
How long does an audit take?
It depends on the type and complexity. Simple correspondence audits can resolve in weeks. Complex field audits may take months. We keep your documentation organized and your responses ready so nothing on your side causes a delay.
What if my records are a mess?
That's okay - we deal with this regularly. We'll reconstruct what we can, organize what exists, and prepare the strongest possible documentation for your response. Missing records isn't ideal, but it's manageable.
How much does audit support cost?
It varies based on the type and complexity of your audit. We offer a free initial consultation to review your situation and provide a clear quote before any work begins. No surprises.
Protecting Your Business
What You Need to Know
About IRS Audit Defense
What triggers an IRS audit for a small business?
The most common triggers for small business audits include unusually high deductions relative to income, cash-intensive businesses with inconsistent reporting, home office deductions, significant business losses claimed over multiple years, and discrepancies between reported income and third-party 1099s. Being audited doesn't necessarily mean you did anything wrong. The IRS uses statistical models to flag returns that fall outside normal ranges for your industry. If you receive a notice, the key is to respond correctly and promptly.
Is it better to handle an IRS audit myself or hire professional representation?
Going in unprepared is where most business owners get hurt. You may inadvertently provide more information than required, agree to unfavorable adjustments out of confusion, or miss procedural rights that could protect you. Formal representation before the IRS is limited by federal law to CPAs, Enrolled Agents, and attorneys, and a credentialed representative knows what documentation is legally required and how to present it to the IRS. Whichever route you take, the quality and completeness of your documentation drives the outcome, and that is the part we handle.
Can EZQ Group help with audits for prior tax years?
Yes. We regularly assist Houston businesses with audits covering multiple prior tax years, including situations where records are incomplete or where prior returns were prepared by someone else. We'll review what was filed, gather supporting documentation, reconstruct records where needed, and prepare your response at each stage of the audit. Even if you made errors in prior years, there are legal ways to present your situation that can significantly reduce any assessment.
