What You Can Expect

Comprehensive Case Review

Before we ever talk to the IRS, we examine your return and your records. We identify the weak points and the strong points of your case, developing a strategic defense plan that minimizes your exposure to additional taxes or penalties.

Correction of IRS Errors

Auditors make mistakes, too. They often misapply the tax code or ignore valid documentation. We meticulously review their findings to ensure every proposed adjustment is legally correct. If they are wrong, we fight to get it removed.

Compliance Without Compromise

We stay current on the ever-changing tax code and make sure you stay compliant—whether you’re filing in one state or five. We even help you prepare for IRS audits or letters if they arise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers to common questions about our tax preparation services.

I just received an audit notice. Does this mean the IRS thinks I’m a criminal?

Not at all. An audit is simply an examination of your tax return to ensure the information is reported correctly according to the tax laws. Many audits are triggered by simple clerical errors, “red flags” like unusually high deductions, or even random selection. While it feels personal and stressful, receiving an audit notice is a procedural step, and with the right representation, it can be managed without disrupting your life.

Do I have to meet with the IRS auditor in person?
In most cases, no. When you hire Molen & Associates, we file a Power of Attorney with the IRS. This allows us to handle all communications, correspondence, and meetings on your behalf. We generally prefer that our clients do not speak directly with the auditor, as it prevents you from accidentally providing information that could expand the scope of the audit. You can stay focused on your work and family while we handle the IRS at our office.
Why was my tax return selected for an audit?
The IRS uses several methods for selection, ranging from automated “scoring” systems that look for outliers to “matching” programs that find discrepancies between your return and your 1099s or W-2s. Sometimes, you may be audited simply because you are involved in transactions with another taxpayer who is being audited. Our team reviews your return and the audit notice to identify exactly what triggered the inquiry so we can build a focused defense.

What kind of records will I need to provide for the audit?
The IRS will issue an Information Document Request (IDR) listing specific items they want to see, such as receipts, bank statements, canceled checks, or logs. One of the biggest benefits of our 40+ years of experience is our ability to help you organize your records. We don’t just hand over a “shoebox” of receipts to the IRS; we organize, summarize, and present your documentation in a way that makes it easy for the auditor to say “yes” to your deductions.
Can I represent myself in an audit to save money?
You have the right to represent yourself, but it is often a “penny wise, pound foolish” decision. IRS auditors are highly trained to find ways to increase your tax liability. Without a deep understanding of tax law and IRS procedures, it is easy to inadvertently waive your rights or volunteer information that leads to more years being audited. We act as your professional “buffer,” ensuring the auditor stays focused only on the items in question.
How long does the audit process usually take?
The duration of an audit depends on the type (correspondence, office, or field audit) and the complexity of the issues. A simple mail audit might be resolved in a few months, while a complex small business audit could take a year or more. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of every update, ensuring that the IRS moves as quickly as possible and doesn’t let your case languish on an auditor’s desk.
What happens if the audit results in me owing more money?

If the auditor proposes changes that you disagree with, we have the right to appeal the decision within the IRS or even take it to Tax Court. If the changes are correct but you cannot afford to pay the balance, we seamlessly transition your case to our tax resolution team to negotiate an installment agreement or an Offer in Compromise. We don’t just leave you with a bill; we stay with you until the debt is resolved.

How does Molen & Associates’ "education-focused" approach help during an audit?
We believe that an audit is a learning opportunity. While we fight to defend your current return, we also take the time to teach you how to improve your record-keeping and filing habits for the future. Our goal is to make this your last audit. We treat you like family, providing the peace of mind that comes from knowing your defense is being handled by experts who genuinely care about your financial well-being.
