Tax audits can be an extremely nerve-wracking ordeal. Fortunately for you, however, you may not have to go through one alone, or, if you are represented by legal counsel, you may not have to go at all. An attorney can not only help you keep yourself out of hot water with the IRS, but they can also attend the audit in your place, so that you don’t have to go through that stressful experience at all.

Unless you receive a personal summons from the IRS, if you have legal representation, you do not have to attend your audit. This may work out to your advantage because it keeps you from volunteering any information about yourself that may hurt you.
IRS tax auditors are trained in legal jargon, while you are not. They take everything you say very literally, and if you make one slip about your estimated earnings or anything of the sort, you could be accused of lying or skewing the facts, both of which has severe consequences.
