You never know when you will be hit by an IRS audit so it is critical that you take precautionary
steps to protect yourself. First, you should maintain good records otherwise the IRS will penalize you
for willful neglect of record keeping. It is also wise to hire a qualified and experienced tax attorney
who is trained and intimately familiar with tax law. This way your rights are legally protected and you have an assertive legal advocate to fight on your side. It could help you to
obtain the applicable IRS publications that are in correlation of the area of tax law that you are dealing
with. It is also important to remember that when it comes to the IRS it is wise to respond promptly and
honestly with all IRS communications and if you are found to be lying, the penalties will be much
more severe.
