IRS audit for contractors: organize your records and respond calmly.
Getting a letter from the IRS is scary, but it has clear steps. We are not enrolled agents, CPAs or attorneys. We put your records in order and connect you with a partner who can represent you.
A strategic partner handles it
If your paperwork isn't in order, a letter weighs twice as much.
Cash payments with no receipt
Without a record, it is hard to show where the money came from and where it went.
Lost receipts and invoices
A real expense you can't prove may not count.
Misclassified workers
Treating an employee as a contractor can bring questions from the IRS or the EDD.
A letter nobody opens
Ignoring it won't make it go away, and the deadlines keep running.
When do you need this service? Everyday examples.
You got a letter from the IRS
You don't understand what they are asking for and want to know what to do first and who can help you.
You paid helpers in cash
You don't have clear receipts and you worry about how to explain it.
They ask you about your expenses
Receipts or mileage are missing, and you need to rebuild what does have support.
The EDD asks you for information about your workers
They want to see payroll and 1099s, and you need everything organized.
You owe taxes and want a payment plan
You want to understand your options with a professional and have your numbers clear.
This is what changes when your records are ready.
You know what the letter asks for
Calmly, you check what they are asking for, how much time you have and what papers you need.
Your documents, in one place
Bank statements, receipts, mileage and payroll ready for your partner.
Your partner works faster
With reconciled records, they don't waste time looking for information.
More peace of mind
You know the next step and who represents you.
This service is provided by an independent partner, not Oficina del Contratista. We are not responsible for our partners’ services, fees or results. Some partners pay us commissions or profits for referring you.
This is how we work with a partner for audits.
You keep talking to us. The partner reviews your case and represents you before the IRS or the state. We keep your records organized so you can respond.
Which letter you received, who it is from and what the deadline is.
With a partner enrolled agent, CPA or attorney who works to resolve it with you.
We reconcile bank accounts, receipts and payroll so your partner can answer.
Your books are clean so next year is easier.
