Atlanta CPA Provides Sample IRS Audit Letter in Anticipation of Impending Audit Meeting 

When getting ready for an audit the first best call is to a well experienced CPA to ensure that both your rights but more importantly that you return is correct and prepared to best ensure your lowest legal possible tax. As a Body of Believers, though we are to submit to Authority, we are not required either by tax law or by our faith to pay more than our fair share and therefore just and legally liable tax obligation/bill.

All correspondence with the IRS should be an ends to an mean and help to encourage the client, the IRS and their agent to close their file as quickly as possible, while ensuring that you pay only your legally liable tax. To that end I have provided the below sample audit letter detailing what we did, the terms and even enclosing the check to pay the taxes and interest in full while asking for penalty abatement. For the easier a CPA can make it on the agent to adequately and efficiently close their file is a win for both the IRS and the client.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing you in a good faith attempt to come to terms over the above taxpayers' present predicament and to address their tax issues. I am willing/eager to supply you with any information that you might need in order to process the audit. I have worked with the client to get their tax filings correct for the _____ tax year and payments current ASAP. To that end I have prepared for you a Form 1040X for the _____ tax year.

Enclosed please find a check for ___ to be applied as follows:
Tax $ _____Interest. With the payment of the tax and interest in full I am asking that any potential penalty assessed be abated. It is my goal to help in their efforts to return to compliance. Since I have assumed the role as their financial advisor (they had no advisor previously), I have consulted with them, and in good faith within thirty days I pulled all of the information together that you have requested.

I believe the penalty abatement is a just request as I believe the IRS is a fair institution designed to help taxpayers pay their just taxes.

I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to working with you to close their file.

Sincerely,
John C. Dillard, CPA, PC
