Thanks for the prompt and thorough response.
A few clarifications based on your reply:
1 - This is for tax year 2017.
2 - My wife and I are an LLC with no employees so we file via Schedule C.
3 - We both take the FAM as we are both registered agents via IATA.
4 - I believe we were flagged as we had a loss for 2017 and the bulk of the expenses were travel-related (as you would expect from a travel agency).
5 - We're taking your advice and seeking help from a CPA to contest the IRS charges.
6 - Any other thoughts or suggestions?
