IRS Audit Reconsideration

When the IRS Makes Mistakes, We Make Things Right

The sinking feeling when you receive an audit result that doesn’t reflect reality is something no taxpayer should endure alone. Whether the IRS missed crucial documentation, misunderstood your situation, or made computational errors, an unfair audit outcome isn’t the end of your story—it’s the beginning of your comeback.

At Frazier Law, we specialize in audit reconsideration cases where the original result was simply wrong. We don’t just file paperwork; we build compelling cases that force the IRS to take a second, more careful look at your situation.

The Hidden Dangers of Accepting an Incorrect Audit Result

When you receive an unfavorable audit outcome, the pressure to “just pay and move on” can feel overwhelming. But accepting an incorrect assessment creates cascading problems:

  • Inflated tax liability that follows you for years through liens and levies
  • Penalty and interest snowball that grows daily on amounts you shouldn’t owe
  • Credit damage from federal tax liens filed on incorrect assessments
  • Lost refunds from future years applied to balances you don’t actually owe
  • Precedent setting that makes you vulnerable in future audits

The IRS won’t automatically correct their mistakes. Without proper reconsideration, an incorrect audit result becomes your new tax reality—complete with all the enforcement power of the federal government behind it.

Our Proven Process: From Confusion to Resolution

Step 1: Diagnostic Review We compare your original audit file against all available evidence—including documents the IRS never saw. This reveals exactly where the audit went wrong and what evidence will change the outcome.

Step 2: Strategic Positioning Not every audit reconsideration follows the same path. We choose the approach that maximizes your chances of success, whether that’s a simple reconsideration, Appeals intervention, or court-ready posture.

Step 3: Evidence Assembly We organize proof the way IRS personnel expect to see it—clear, cross-referenced, and impossible to ignore. Sloppy presentations get sloppy results.

Step 4: Submission & Advocacy We handle all IRS communication, manage deadlines, and escalate appropriately when initial responses aren’t acceptable. You’ll know where things stand at every step.

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as “new information” for audit reconsideration?

Documents the IRS didn’t consider during the original audit, computational errors in their analysis, or legal arguments not previously presented. We help identify what you have that could change the outcome.

Can penalties be reduced through audit reconsideration?

Yes. When the underlying tax assessment changes, penalties calculated on the incorrect amount often disappear or reduce significantly. We address both tax and penalty issues simultaneously.

How long does audit reconsideration take?

Simple cases may resolve in 3-6 months, while complex matters can take a year or more. We maintain pressure on the IRS and keep you informed throughout the process.

What if my reconsideration is denied?

We can escalate to Appeals or pursue other legal remedies depending on the circumstances. A denial at the initial level isn’t the end of your options.

Will audit reconsideration trigger examination of other years?

Properly handled reconsideration shouldn’t expand IRS scrutiny, but we proactively address this risk in our submissions and client counseling.
