An IRS investigation is not a routine compliance matter. It is a high-stakes process where timelines are strict, information requests can be extensive, and every response must be accurate, consistent, and well-supported by records. For individuals, business owners, and businesses, the impact can extend beyond tax exposure to reputation, operations, and personal stress.
At CnC Associates, our tax lawyers specialise in defending individuals, businesses, and business owners facing IRS investigations. We provide a structured, defence-led approach—combining legal strategy, documentation discipline, and clear representation—so you can engage with the process confidently and without unnecessary escalation.
IRS investigations often involve detailed scrutiny of filings, financial trails, source documentation, and transaction patterns. In many cases, risk increases not because of the underlying position, but because of inconsistent records, incomplete submissions, or unstructured communication.
Clients typically seek our support when they face:
A formal IRS investigation or audit with complex information requests
Notices requiring urgent, accurate, and well-documented responses
Exposure concerns involving business filings, owner-linked activity, or financial discrepancies
Challenges in consolidating records across banks, entities, or reporting years
The need for controlled representation to avoid missteps and preserve rights
A disciplined defence strategy, built early, can materially reduce risk, protect your position, and improve outcomes.

Timelines vary based on scope, complexity, and how quickly information is provided.

Our focus is to keep the process controlled, deadline-led, and strategically managed from the outset.
Do not ignore it or respond informally. Preserve all relevant records, avoid inconsistent explanations, and ensure your response is accurate, complete, and supported by documentation. We recommend a quick review of the notice, followed by a structured plan for information gathering and response preparation—so you protect your position and avoid escalation.
