Department of Revenue Tax Audit Defense
You have just received a letter from the Department of Revenue informing you that they intend to do an audit! What now?
Let us fight it for you and put our experience to work for your benefit!
The auditor from the state is trained to find mistakes you have made that benefit the state. They are not as well trained to find credits for you. We know this because Mr. Bodden and our consultants were once state auditors. We can help. Our consultants have each been through over 1000 audits and understand how to properly answer the questions an auditor will ask. Each seemingly innocent question may be leading the auditor deeper into his investigation and to erroneous assumptions that will cost you money.
Cradle to Grave
Contacting us before the audit begins or in the very early stages shortens the duration of your audit and increases your chances of getting a refund in contrast to owing additional tax, interest and penalties. Your audit will be handled on an hourly basis from the cradle to the grave by our consultant. You are free to focus on your daily duties and responsibilities while our consultant becomes the point of contact on your behalf with the department of revenue auditor. Our consultant will perform a friendly audit prior to allowing the state to do their audit. This will find credits that will offset findings from the state audit.
This type of engagement has historically turned out to be the best option for our clients in that they make more money when we handle the entire audit as opposed to handling it themselves and allowing us to handle it after receiving an assessment. In those cases the cat was already out of the bag and it was more difficult to do damage control. The cradle to grave option is the best way to ensure that the audit is shorter, the disruption to your staff is minimal, and the outcome has the highest return on time invested for your bottom line.
You don't like the outcome of the audit you've just had
Have you just received the settlement letter from the department of revenue and it is not what you had hoped for? We can still help you! The damage to your bottom line will be lessened and in many cases we will find credits for you even after the state has found areas where you owe significant amounts. The Department of Revenue auditor is performing the audit to find mistakes you have made that benefit the state as much as possible and does not focus on the areas of credit that benefit you. Our consultants work very hard for you using their experience and expertise to find offsetting credits and discover areas where the auditor has incorrectly applied statues to benefit the state when the proper interpretation would actually benefit you. We work for you on a contingency basis and our fee comes from the savings we generate for you. There have been many times where we have turned an audit showing additional liabilities due into a zero assessment or even refund for our clients.
Your audit has begun and it is taking more of your time than you expected or it is not going well
Have you begun your audit with the department of revenue and are not happy with the amount of time you are spending with the auditor and are afraid it is going to turn out badly? We can still help you! You will benefit from bringing us in at any time during your audit with the state. You should be spending your time focusing on your daily responsibilities of running your business. You save time and money by allowing our consultant to reduce your liabilities and limit your exposure. If you begin the engagement with Geoffrey Bodden & Associates, Inc. before the state finishes its assessment your engagement would be done on an hourly basis.
