His knowledge and skill commonly enables clients to walk away without any extra tax obligations, and often without even meeting an IRS agent. If you need tax audit help, call John Alan Cohan today!
The IRS Appeal — If the Revenue Agent determines that additional tax is owed, the taxpayer has 30 days to request that the IRS Appeals Office review the agent’s finding. Mr. Cohan has a proven record in IRS appeals, including conferences to convince the Appeals Officer to overturn the audit findings or negotiate a compromise. He also appeals adverse Appeals Office rulings to U.S. Tax Court.
