We represent construction companies against the IRS

No matter what type of business you’re in, getting a notice that your company has been selected for an audit can cause a lot of anxiety about the process, in general, and about getting an IRS tax bill plus any assessed fees or penalties. As with other industries, IRS audits of construction companies are a common occurrence. But, due to some of the unique issues specifically related to the construction business, an audit can be particularly challenging. IRS regulations affect how revenue can be reported and how deductions are recorded. These regulations can be related to how a company is structured or to the relationship that exists between the company and its subcontractors.

The construction industry has some of the most complicated, often-litigated tax intricacies. IRS cases involving construction companies could center on issues with accounting methods, long-term contracts, independent contractors, and unreported income/income shifting.

When you’re dealing with the IRS, it’s essential that you enlist the services of a company with experience in representation against the IRS for construction companies.

The audit process

If you’re a construction company being audited by the IRS, you need to understand the issues that the IRS will focus on during the audit process. While The IRS’ Construction Audit Techniques Guide (ATG) is an important resource that provides valuable information for how the IRS will examine your company during the audit, you need to hire representation from a company that has experience in the field of construction accounting.
