IRS Audits & Examinations
How an audit is handled often decides how the dispute ends. Stone Tax Counsel represents individuals, businesses, and partnerships in IRS audits, with each case prepared for Appeals or the Tax Court in case it does not resolve.
Matters We Handle
Audits of individuals, businesses, and trusts and estates
Partnership audits, including advising the partnership representative
Audits under IRS enforcement campaigns, such as conservation easements, Puerto Rico Act 60 residency, and business aircraft deductions
Charitable contribution and valuation audits
Audits where the IRS is considering penalties
Our Approach
The record built during an audit follows the case to Appeals and, if needed, into court. We manage what is produced and when, protect privileged communications, and respond to proposed changes in writing with the law and the evidence. In partnership audits, each decision point carries strict deadlines and consequences for the partners, and those decisions are made with the full case in mind. Many audits are handled alongside the client's CPA.
Experience
William A. Stone III has represented partnerships and individuals in audits involving IRS enforcement campaigns and has written for Tax Notes on IRS settlement offers made during audits.
