The first thing is to challenge the audit report to the auditor's supervisor. ?Some auditors come to amazing conclusions (I had one that wasn't familiar with the concept of a checking account or that expenses could be paid with a little piece of paper called a check. ?I've had several that didn't grasp that regardless of the amount of revenue taxable income was revenue minus expenses - "Your client had sales of $4 million dollars, so it's taxable income must have been at least $1 million.") ? If that doesn't result in a satisfactory resolution.

Yes you can appeal. The instructions to do so are in your determination letter. It is best to have a professional representative to handle the appeal.

Probably you would hire an attorney familiar with tax practice who would in turn engage an accountant to assist and keep the costs as low as possible while maintaining attorney-client privilege due to the engagement of the account by the firm.
