Taxpayers have the right to retain an authorized representative of their choice to represent them in their dealings with the IRS. You should be represented by an experienced Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or a Tax Attorney. Without proper tax audit representation, you may get in trouble with the government. H&CO can represent you during the IRS tax audit process.
