Professional IRS Audit Representation to Protect Your Rights
When the IRS audits your return, every response matters.
Bowes & Sullivan Tax Group is led by a former IRS agent and Certified Tax Resolution Specialist (CTRS), supported by a team with more than 150 years of combined experience handling IRS audit cases. We take over all communication with the IRS, organize your records properly, and represent you at every stage of the audit.
Don’t Face an IRS Audit Alone
An IRS audit is not a casual review. Auditors look for gaps, inconsistencies, and areas that increase what you owe. This is where many taxpayers feel pressure:
Uncertainty about how much documentation to provide.
Risk of the audit expanding into other years.
Potential penalties are being assessed.
Business operations are being interrupted.
Questions about whether the return is fully supported.
At Bowes & Sullivan Tax Group, our IRS audit representation steps in before those concerns turn into larger problems. We take control of communication with the IRS, review your records carefully, and present documentation in a clear and organized manner.

We represent businesses under audit of corporate and partnership tax returns, including Forms 1120 and 1065. We prepare financial records in a structured format and respond directly to IRS requests on your behalf.

How Our Audit Representation Process Works
An IRS audit needs to be handled the right way from the start. Our process is built to do exactly that.
Pre-Audit Case Review
We review your tax return carefully before responding to the IRS. We look at the areas they are likely to question and address issues early, so there are no surprises during the audit.
Document Organization & Strategy
We gather and organize your records clearly and consistently. Everything is prepared thoughtfully, so the information provided to the IRS is accurate and complete.
Direct IRS Representation
We communicate directly with the IRS on your behalf and attend meetings when required. In most cases, you do not have to sit across from an auditor. We handle the discussion and guide the process forward.
