Kmetz, Elwell, Graham & Associates, PLLC (KEGA) is pleased to offer our tax clients a vital service to your peace of mind – Audit Protection. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and many State taxing agencies continue to increase the use of technology to analyze your income tax returns as a methodology to increase tax revenues.
As a result, your chance of receiving IRS correspondence and/or an audit has increased dramatically, a condition that KEGA has duly noted. In fact, every year nearly 20 million inquiries are made on filed returns alone.
CLIENT BENEFITS:
With your enrollment in Audit Protection for each tax year, if that year’s return is audited for any reason, KEGA will represent you at no additional professional service cost. In addition, if you receive a Correspondence Notice from the IRS and/or State Taxing Agencies, we will respond on your behalf without additional professional service fees. While we do ensure the accuracy of your return based upon information provided by you, if you incur penalties and/or interest due to a mistake made by KEGA, we will cover them, guaranteed. However, you are responsible for payment of any additional taxes to the appropriate taxing authority.
