STEWART PERSKY & ASSOCIATES, P.C.
AUDIT REPRESENTATION GUIDELINES
January 1, 2002
-
Stewart Persky & Assoc., P.C. will not engage in illegal
or unethical activities.
-
All information provided to Stewart Persky & Assoc.,
P.C. will be held in strictest confidence. We will not release any information
whatsoever without your approval.
-
You as a taxpayer are responsible for additional taxes, interest
and penalties imposed by government. Our goal is to help you minimize these
payments.
-
The Audit Representation Service does not cover notices,
audits, etc. initiated by the government prior to the date of our confirmation
letter to you. Nor does the Audit Representation Service cover non-income
tax matters such as payroll and sales taxes.
-
The Audit Representation Service covers only the year signed
up for. Our acceptance of the return for this service presumes no fraud
or misrepresentations, which would extend the normal statute of limitations
period or result in criminal proceedings against the taxpayer. Our representation
does not cover such fraud or other illegal activities.
-
Audit representation covers only the meetings and discussions
with the examining agent. If you want to challenge the examiner's findings,
such appeal constitutes a separate service subject to billing at standard
hourly rates and may require legal representation.
-
To activate the Audit Representation Service, Stewart Persky
& Assoc., P.C. must have a copy of your tax return and your account
must be paid in full. We reserve the right to refuse service or add a surcharge
based on a high susceptibility to audit, errors detected on the return
or if material misrepresentations are made to us regarding the size of
the return or prior government contact.
-
The taxpayer is ultimately responsible for the tax return
including all backup, documentation for all items of income and deductions
including receipts, vehicle logs, etc.
-
The return must be timely filed (including extensions). Returns
filed after April 15 may result in penalty and interest charges imposed
by the government. The handling of such notices by Stewart Persky &
Assoc., P.C. would result in an additional surcharge.
-
Notices are to be sent to Stewart Persky & Assoc., P.C.
within 48 hours of receipt from the government.
-
The Audit Representation Service covers an audit or correspondence
only for the return specified on the confirmation letter. An audit or correspondence
for any pass through entities or any other related taxpayers constitute
separate services subject to billing at standard hourly rates. However,
the Audit Representation Service may be available for related taxpayers
or pass through entities. Please contact our office for details.
