As individual taxpayers and business owners, the prospect of being audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or state tax agency is one which keeps people up at night and causes them to break out into a cold sweat.

An IRS or state (FTB, EDD, CDTFA) audit is basically an investigation/review of a business or an individual’s financial information, accounts, books, and tax history. The basic aim of an audit is simply to ensure whether the business/individual has filed and reported their tax returns accurately and correctly according to federal, state tax laws, and to ensure that they have paid the correct amount of taxes.

Even if you have nothing to hide, an IRS audit can be stressful, which is why IRS tax audit help can be so beneficial. By speaking to a tax professional, EA, CPA, lawyer you can ensure that you are fully prepared to if audited by the IRS, or the state tax agency (FTB, EDD, CDTFA).

★★★★★
Mike is a true professional. He really came thru for me and my business. Dealing with the IRS is very scary. I'm a small business person who works hard and Mike helped me see that they are not that scary after all. He was always there with the answers I needed and was very good about calling me back which I appreciated since your first reaction is to freak out and ask a million questions. He solved a messy case and worked very hard to resolve it. His rates are VERY reasonable for the amount of work he does! I give him my highest recommendation! Marcie R.
★★★★★
Mike was incredibly responsive to my IRS issues. Once I decided to go with him (after interviewing numerous other tax professionals), he got on the phone with the IRS immediately (as in the same day I signed with him) to squash an impending issue. And he worked directly with them to quickly come to a resolution I am very happy with. I'd highly recommend reaching out to Mike to see if he can help you with any IRS issues. I'm very satisfied! Marshall W.
★★★★★
I’ve seen and heard plenty of commercials on TV and radio for businesses offering tax help. I did my research on many of them only to discover numerous complaints and unresolved tax issues. I found Mike Habib through my own online search and contacted him. He was very professional with great communication, always answering my questions and concerns. Mike resolved my complicated tax problem just as he said he would. I would definitely recommend his services to family and friends. Nancy & Sal V.
