Who can help me with an IRS audit?

Understand the scope of the tax audit. When it comes to office and field audits, unless you are adept at IRS procedures, it's highly recommended that you get a licensed tax professional (enrolled agent, CPA, or attorney) to represent you and advocate your tax return positions before the IRS.

How do I resolve an IRS audit?

If you disagree, disputed items can be reviewed informally with the auditor's supervisor or through mediation known as Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). If that doesn't resolve the problem, you can file an appeal with the IRS Appeals Office, which is independent of the local office that conducted the audit.
