For your audit, you need the following records and information:
- All electronic records- these records include credit card and bank statements with pertinent information on them.
- Financial records– these should be in printed form, and we can assist you in compiling the statements if needed.
- Bank Records– If you still receive a monthly report from your bank in the mail, be sure to keep these as an auditor will ask for them.
- Receipts– You should keep receipts for business expenses with notations that justify the expense for your company, including dinner receipts, receipts for office supplies, and any other business-related purchases.
- Auto Mileage– If you count your business miles, you should record those miles in a journal or some diary to prove to the auditor that they are justified.
Penalty Abatement
Dealing with the IRS can be stressful, especially when facing penalties due to tax audits. Fortunately, our Penalty Abatement service at LBS Tax & Accounting can help alleviate this burden. Penalty abatement is the process of reducing or eliminating IRS penalties assessed on your tax debt. Whether penalties have been incurred due to late payments, underpayment of taxes, or other reasons, our experienced team is here to assist you.
How Penalty Abatement Works
- Assessment: We’ll assess your tax situation to determine the penalties imposed and the reasons behind them.
- Evaluation: Our team will evaluate your eligibility for penalty abatement by reviewing factors such as your compliance history, circumstances surrounding the penalties, and any reasonable cause arguments.
- Negotiation: We’ll negotiate with the IRS on your behalf, presenting your case for penalty relief based on valid grounds such as financial hardship, ignorance of tax laws, or circumstances beyond your control.
- Resolution: If successful, we’ll work to secure a reduction or elimination of the assessed penalties, providing you with much-needed relief from additional financial strain.
