Audit Representation

Receiving a notice from the IRS can be terrifying. You don’t have to face it alone. Our Enrolled Agents and CPAs act as your authorized representatives and handle the communication for you.

Overview

How we help

Most IRS contact starts with a letter: a proposed change, a balance due, a request for documents, or an audit. Enrolled Agents and CPAs are authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS. With your signed power of attorney (Form 2848), we can speak to the IRS on your behalf, so you don’t have to.

We start by reading the notice and your return to understand exactly what’s being questioned. Then we gather documentation, prepare a clear response, meet deadlines, and negotiate penalty relief or a payment arrangement where it’s available.

Key Benefits

  • Professional communication with the IRS
  • Complete documentation management
  • Negotiation for penalty abatement
  • Total peace of mind during the process

FAQ

Common questions

Something else on your mind? Call (877) 658-7038 or email support@stellartaxgroup.com.

Is every IRS letter an audit?

No. Many notices are automated, such as a math correction, a mismatch with a 1099, or a balance reminder. Some only need a short response. We’ll tell you which kind you have.

How do I know a letter is really from the IRS?

The IRS usually starts contact by mail, not by phone, text or email, and it won’t demand payment by gift card or wire. If you’re unsure, send it to us before responding or paying.

Do I have to talk to the IRS myself?

Not for matters we handle. With a signed Form 2848, we can communicate with the IRS on your behalf.

What if I can’t pay what I owe?

There are options, including short-term extensions and installment agreements. Filing on time still matters, even if you can’t pay, because it limits penalties.

Can you help if someone else prepared my return?

Yes. We represent clients regardless of who prepared the original return.
