It’s never fun to open your mailbox and see a letter from the IRS, especially when it mentions an audit. But don’t panic. If you’ve received a notice or audit request, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to face it alone.
At Chime In Consultancy, we help individuals and business owners respond to IRS notices, prepare audit documentation, and most importantly, protect their rights and peace of mind.
An Enrolled Agent (EA) is federally licensed and authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS in all 50 states.
Let’s walk through what to expect—and how we can help.
What Happens During an Audit?
An IRS audit means the IRS is reviewing your tax return to verify that your income, deductions, and credits are accurate. You’ll be asked to present documents that support the information you reported on your return. These documents might include:
Receipts for business or medical expenses
Bills and canceled checks
Legal papers such as divorce settlements or property agreements
Loan documents
Logs for mileage or business activities
Tickets, travel records, or medical records
Employment documents or Schedule K-1 forms
Note: You don’t need to create anything new—just gather the records you originally used when preparing your tax return.
How to Prepare Your Documents
To make the audit process smoother and faster, the IRS recommends organizing your documents:
By year and
By type of income or expense
Each record should also include the circumstances surrounding it (what it was for, how it relates to your business or deduction, etc.). And remember: never send originals—send only copies.
If the audit is by mail, your notice will tell you where to send the documents. If it’s in person, you’ll bring the records to your appointment.
