IRS Audit Representation in Orange County

A man in a suit and tie is holding a paper that says audit notice.

Don’t Face an IRS Audit Alone — Let a CPA Protect You

Receiving an IRS audit notice can feel overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to derail your life or business. At Boulanger CPA and Consulting PC, we represent Orange County taxpayers in IRS audits and examinations with professionalism, authority, and strategy. If you’ve received a CP2000, Letter 566, or Form 4564, we’re here to help.

What Triggers an IRS Audit?

The IRS initiates audits for many reasons, including:

  • Mismatches between reported income and 1099/W-2 forms
  • High deductions relative to income
  • Business expense red flags
  • Unfiled returns or prior-year issues
  • Random selection or statistical sampling
  • 

Whether you’re facing a correspondence audit or a full field audit, your response and representation matter.

Our IRS Audit Defense Services

1. Audit Notice Review & Risk Assessment
We examine your IRS letter and pull transcripts to understand exactly what they’re challenging.


2. Documentation Strategy
We guide you in assembling the right evidence (receipts, logs, records) — and knowing what not to send. Over-disclosure is a common audit killer.


3. Representation & Communication
You don’t have to speak to the IRS. As your licensed CPA, we communicate directly with the IRS agent on your behalf.



4. Negotiation & Resolution
We help reduce penalties, protect legitimate deductions, and negotiate adjustments. We also explore appeal options or penalty abatement if needed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Can you make the audit go away?

    Sometimes. If the audit is based on an error or document mismatch, we can resolve it quickly. If it proceeds, we represent you start to finish.

  • Will I owe more taxes after an audit?

    Not necessarily. We’ve had clients go through audits and owe less — or nothing at all — when represented properly.

  • What if I didn’t file all my returns?

    We can help you become compliant before responding, which puts you in a better position with the IRS.

  • Can I represent myself?

    Yes, but it’s risky. Most taxpayers unintentionally say too much or provide more than is required. Professional representation helps protect your rights.
