Many people who go in for an IRS tax audit often feel quite powerless during the process so they should hire a tax lawyer to assist them. Contrary to that belief, you have some very specific rights. The audit process is unique and thus, your rights are too. Over the years, the many statutes and the three taxpayer Bills of Rights (which are now part of the IRS Code) have come together to help protect you. With the help of your New York tax lawyer, you should feel pretty confident going into an audit. So what are your rights? Let’s spell them out in regular language.
Like most rights, these do have some limitations, but we can both educate you on these rights and help protect them, and you, during the audit. This means that if your rights are violated in any way, you may have access to judicial remedies (legal ruling by a judge or court) for a wrongful collection action by the IRS.
