Audit Defense
Never Face the IRS Alone.
An audit can cost you countless hours and thousands of dollars, even if your return is perfect. With prepaid Audit Defense, a seasoned tax professional defends your return through the entire audit process, from the first notice to final resolution.
One low fee of $95 per tax return buys you peace of mind for the entire statute-of-limitations window.
Audits Happen. Be Prepared.
Even a perfectly prepared return can be selected for audit. The moment you receive a notice, the clock starts, and responding the wrong way, or too slowly, can turn a routine inquiry into a costly ordeal.
Audit Defense must be purchased before you are audited. Add it when we file your return and you are covered for the full statute-of-limitations period, typically three years for the IRS and four years for state returns.
