Tax Audits

Our parents encourage us to “play fair.” Unfortunately, when an individual or a business must face the IRS, the California Franchise Tax Board, or the California State Board of Equalization, nothing seems “fair.” It does not always feel like a level playing field when the government notifies taxpayers that they owe unpaid taxes, interest, and penalties; or that they failed to timely file multiple years of tax returns triggering huge penalties; or that the government intends to perform an audit and assess additional taxes. Confronted with such government assertions, the goal often becomes clear: negotiate a satisfactory settlement without having to proceed all the way to a court trial.
