Our protest reversed the decision of the NYS audit department based upon the facts and circumstances presented in the case.2) We recently received a no change on an IRS desk audit despite the fact that the client had insufficient documentation, but was able to demonstrate reasonable cause for taking the tax deductions.3) We are currently working with the IRS Taxpayer Advocates office with respect to extending the statute of limitations on an lien for a deceased taxpayer that was negligent in filing his prior year tax returns.
