What Are Tax Audits In California?

A tax audit occurs when the IRS or the California Franchise Tax Board, Employment Development Department (EDD) and California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) reviews a return to verify accuracy. Audits may focus on income reporting, deductions, credits or business expenses or possible criminal wrongdoings.

For business owners in Orange County and Los Angeles County, audits involve payroll taxes, sales tax or corporate filings. An experienced tax attorney can communicate directly with auditors, submit proper documentation and limit unnecessary exposure during the IRS audit process.

The Tax Audit Appeals Process Explained

When an audit results in proposed changes, taxpayers have the right to appeal a tax audit decision. The appeals process allows disputes to be reviewed by an independent body rather than the original auditor.

This stage is formal and deadline-driven. Working with a knowledgeable lawyer helps ensure that filings, legal arguments and supporting records are properly presented. Attorney Jayson guided clients from protest letters to conferences and administrative hearings.
