Tax enforcement efforts are on the rise at the federal and state levels. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced campaigns focusing on complex partnerships and highly technical areas of tax law, like the Research & Development (R&D) Credit, and state taxing authorities have similarly increased their efforts in recent years. Looking forward, we expect to see more federal and state tax audits than in the past, with greater emphasis on complex issues. What does this mean for you? Straightforward and simple tax audits may be a thing of the past, but we’re here to help.
