IRS & NYS Audit Representation in Suffolk County, NY
If you’ve received an IRS or New York State tax notice, you don’t have to handle it alone. Our Long Island CPAs provide IRS audit help in Suffolk County and defend individuals and businesses in NYS income, sales, and payroll tax audits—with support for neighboring state audits when needed. From Port Jefferson Station to St. James, we communicate with auditors on your behalf and work to minimize proposed changes.
Don’t Face the IRS or NYS Alone
Audit letters feel urgent and overwhelming. We step in as your CPA representative and auditor liaison, explain what the letter really means, outline deadlines, and take over all communications—so you can breathe. We routinely handle IRS, NYS, and, when applicable, nearby state audits for Long Island residents and small businesses.
Full-Service Audit Representation
We manage the process end to end and keep you informed at every step.
Review the audit notice and define scope (years, issues, agencies)
File authorizations (e.g., Form 2848/8821) so the auditor contacts us, not you
Gather and organize records; reconstruct documentation if items are missing
Prepare workpapers, schedules, and explanations tied to returns
Negotiate proposed adjustments; pursue penalty relief where appropriate
Manage deadlines and submissions to prevent default assessments
Advise on next steps—appeals, payment plans, or other resolution options
All Types of Audits—Individuals & Businesses
We represent individual 1040 filers (including Schedule A/C/E) and business returns (1065, 1120S, 1120, payroll filings) in correspondence, office, and field audits. On the state side, we regularly handle NYS personal income tax and sales tax audits, plus payroll tax examinations. For cross-border situations common on Long Island, we can coordinate with neighboring states (e.g., NJ/CT) if your facts require it.
Throughout the audit, we protect your taxpayer rights, ensure the auditor has only what’s relevant, and present your position clearly to work toward a fair outcome.
After the Audit: Resolution Without the Runaround
If the audit results in additional tax, we’ll help you move forward:
installment agreements,
penalty abatement requests, or escalation to
appeals when warranted. We also fix the root causes—improving recordkeeping and withholding/estimates—so the same issue doesn’t come back next year.
Received a Letter? Do This First.
Open it and note the response deadline—waiting can limit your options. Collect what you have (bank statements, receipts, prior returns) and don’t call the auditor alone; brief us first so we can represent you effectively. Based in Port Jefferson Station and St. James, we work quickly to acknowledge your case, pause the clock if possible, and present a clean, organized response that addresses the auditor’s concerns.
