What is Full Audit Representation?

by TurboTax•49• Updated 1 week ago

Audits by the IRS can be random. Confidently handle an audit by the IRS with a representative who will represent you and communicate with the IRS on your behalf.

TurboTax®, in partnership with TaxAudit, will take care of:

Developing a plan of action
Following up with the IRS
Preparing IRS documents for you
Representing you in all IRS meetings

Full Audit Representation is part of MAX Benefits. For TurboTax Online users, your return is covered for as long as it can be audited. For TurboTax Desktop users, your return is covered through next year’s April tax deadline.
