Offices in Seattle, Burien, Everett and Bellevue · Serving Northwest Washington Including Redmond, Kirkland, Issaquah, Renton, Shoreline, Edmonds, And Federal Way
If you have received a notice that you are being audited, the last thing you should do is meet with the IRS, state, county or city tax authorities without the advice and guidance of a knowledgeable Tax Attorney.
Auditors are trained investigators with a detailed understanding of tax law. Most individuals and business owners do not have the same experience in tax law, putting them at a disadvantage in dealings with the IRS. At Insight Law, you will find Seattle tax audit attorneys who focus almost exclusively on tax law, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of federal and state tax law.
Bellevue Tax Audit Attorneys - Seattle IRS Audit Lawyer
The IRS may audit your taxes in three ways.
- Correspondence examinations: These are the most common audits. They are conducted by mail and may involve a few issues that you can resolve through producing the right documents and information for the IRS.
- Office examinations: These audits involve more complicated fact issues than in correspondence examination. A tax compliance officer will generally conduct an interview with the taxpayer or taxpayer's representative.
- Field examinations: These are conducted by revenue agents who review a taxpayer's books and records and interview either the taxpayer or the taxpayer's representative. Field examinations are usually conducted for businesses, and agents usually conduct the audit at the place of business.
Bellevue, Everett, and Seattle State and Local Business Tax Audits
Typically, an IRS audit is the only type of audit that individual taxpayers may encounter because the state of Washington does not assess income taxes. Business owners, however, may be audited by the state, county or municipality regarding:
- Business and occupation taxes (B and O taxes)
- Sales and use taxes
Our Tax Lawyers are intimately familiar with tax law and business and corporate tax issues and understand every step of both the state and IRS processes. We will explain all of your rights to ensure that you do not make any moves that could cause the scope of the audit to grow. If you are unable to resolve the issue during the audit stage, we have the experience to represent you in tax litigation.

Client Testimonial:
"Christopher Larson took on my case over a year ago and in that time he has reduced my tax liability by over $315000!! I have been very impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He was able to answer all of my questions and addressed them in a timely manner. Along with reducing the debt, he was able to eliminate the possibility of my having to spend time away from my family in a tax prison. I would recommend Christopher to anyone needing representation in dealing with the IRS. Again, the amount of money saved has been well worth having Christopher work on my case."
