An IRS audit can be intimidating, stressful, and time-consuming — especially if you try to handle it alone. Whether you’ve received a letter from the IRS or are already under examination, Metro Accounting & Tax Services, CPA, LLC provides experienced IRS audit representation for individuals and small businesses in Atlanta.
We handle the IRS — so you can get back to business.
IRS audit representation, also known as tax audit defense, is when a licensed tax professional (CPA, EA, or tax attorney) represents you before the IRS during an examination of your tax return.
The IRS may audit your:
Personal tax return (1040)
Business return (1120, 1065, Schedule C, etc.)
Payroll or employment tax filings
Sales or excise tax records
With Metro Accounting as your IRS representative, you never have to face the IRS alone. We deal directly with the IRS on your behalf — handling all communication, documentation, and negotiation.
There are several reasons the IRS may initiate an audit, including:
Discrepancies between reported income and third-party data (W-2s, 1099s)
High deductions relative to income
Industry-specific risk factors
Regardless of why you’re being audited, professional representation can make a critical difference in the outcome of your case.
At Metro Accounting & Tax Services, we provide comprehensive audit representation for individuals, self-employed professionals, and small businesses across Georgia.
We analyze your audit notice and supporting IRS documents to determine the scope of the audit and build a strategic response.
From phone calls and correspondence to in-person or virtual meetings, we represent you in front of the IRS so you don’t have to speak to them directly.
We guide you through gathering the right documents and prepare them in an IRS-acceptable format to support your case.
Whether it’s proving deductions, correcting errors, or negotiating a settlement, we work toward a resolution that minimizes your tax liability and protects your rights.
After the audit, we help you fix any compliance issues, make smarter tax decisions going forward, and reduce your risk of future audits.

Yes. While you’re allowed to represent yourself, having a CPA or tax professional significantly increases your chances of a smoother process and better outcome. We understand what the IRS is looking for and how to present your case properly.
Stay calm and do not ignore it. Contact a CPA immediately. We’ll review the notice, help you understand the scope of the audit, and begin preparing your response to avoid penalties or missed deadlines.
Not usually, but the scope of the audit can sometimes be limited with the right documentation and representation. Our goal is to minimize the audit’s impact, avoid expansion into other years, and close it quickly and favorably.
Not necessarily. Some audits result in no change, and others may even result in a refund. However, without proper representation, you risk overpaying, missing deductions, or accepting unfavorable adjustments.
Yes. Even if you’ve already been contacted or have responded, we can step in immediately to represent you and manage all future communication and documentation.
If you fail to respond or provide the requested documents, the IRS may disallow deductions, assess penalties, and finalize a tax bill against you. It’s critical to act before deadlines pass.
Yes. We represent business owners facing audits of LLC, S-Corp, partnership, and corporate tax filings — including Schedule C audits for sole proprietors. We also assist with payroll tax audits and sales tax issues.
You have the right to appeal. As your representative, we can file an appeal and present supporting evidence to the IRS Office of Appeals, increasing your chances of a favorable reconsideration.
