Get a tax attorney to represent you. IRS auditors aren't authorized to force you to accept their results. You need someone between you and the auditor. The first issue is to determine who's correct: you, the auditor or perhaps both or right on some issues. Then options are to attempt to persuade the auditor, to speak with the auditor's supervisor or to appeal the issues.

Immediately hire a tax attorney or CPA to advise you. If you can straighten this out now, it will save you a lot of expense and stress in the future.

1. Ask to meet with the group manager or a different auditor. 2. If that does not work, appeal. How to appeal should have accompanied the audit report.
