"What if you do not agree with the audit results that result from an IRs audit? Well, publication one, Your Rights as a Taxpayer, goes over what you should do as far as representation and help with unresolved tax problems. Page two of the publication also goes over your appeal rights and collection information. So, if you do not agree with what happened during an IRS audit, first of all you might be able to talk to the IRs agent's manager to help resolve some issues or talk to the agent themselves, first, and see if you can't go through some of the information on some of the alternate receipts that you can provide, or alternate corroborating substantiating information. If that avenue has failed, you do have the appeal rights. You'll follow an appeal, and you need to make sure that you closely follow the dates that are given to you to follow the file the appeal. If you do not file the appeal within the proper time period, than you can lose your appeal rights. You also need to make sure that you understand that you have the right to representation at any time throughout the process. And, if you have gone through an IRS audit and those results are unfavorable, and you disagree with those results and are having no success through that auto process or that appeal process, you can stop that process and ask for representation and seek either the help from a certified public accountant, an attorney, or an enrolled agent. But make sure that, before the audit is concluded, if you do not think that the audit has been conducted the way it should be, or that the results are complete in inaccurate that you take matters a step further. Either with the manager of the IRS agent, through the appeals process, or by obtaining outside representation."
