Sales & Used Tax Audit Defense - Rush Tax Resolution

Need Sales Tax Audit Representation? Rush Tax Resolution provides professional support to navigate audits and protect your business interests effectively.

The IRS offers taxpayers experiencing severe financial hardship the option of qualifying for the Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status. It's important to note that this does not mean debt forgiveness. Instead, it's a temporary status that relieves you from the pressure of the IRS collection process.

We may be able to qualify you for this program if you are facing a situation where you do not have any discretionary income to cover basic living expenses. We may even be able to get you protected on this program, even if you have already received a bank levy notice.

Furthermore, we may be able to get your wage garnishment stopped and help protect your bank accounts from IRS action.

Through the Currently Not Collectible CNC status, we can get them to temporarily stop all collections. Call and speak to one of our tax consultants and ask them if you qualify for this program. They will discuss the entire process with you and often walk you through it on the same day.

The following questions can help pinpoint the best representation when a state audit is imminent, ongoing, or even completed:

“Do I have someone fighting for me who has the proven experience dealing with the very complex myriad of California Sales Tax laws, regulations, interpretations, policies, and procedures?”
“Have I put myself in the best position to secure positive results from a sales tax audit by engaging the help of someone who specializes in this area?”

Our tax audit representation services range from pre-audit consultations to the processing of all necessary and warranted aspects of an audit. Although our efforts are always focused on minimizing the magnitude of the audit, when necessary we can also assist with every stage of the Board of Equalization's sales tax audit and administrative appeals.

Although we can initiate our audit representation at any time in the audit process, it is most advantageous to our clients when we are engaged prior to the start of the tax audit. This allows us to manage the entire process, further helping to ensure that the audit is completed correctly and that your rights are fully protected from start to finish.
