Tax and correspondence audits with the tax authorities have become an expensive inconvenience. Each year the IRS, or your state, selects certain tax returns to examine. If your tax return is selected, you may incur considerable expense even if the audit reveals that it isn’t necessary to change your return.

Clergy Financial Resources now offers Audit Protection Plus which is billed at a low annual fee of just $95.00. This insurance protects you from the large costs of tax return corrections, required correspondence, tax examinations by mail, and direct audits. Audit Protection Plus will spare you the high cost of representation during an audit, which can often exceed $2,500.00. 

Our trusted tax advisors are specialists in clergy tax preparation and are ready to help when you need it most. We will always do our best to advise you on maintaining and organizing your financial records so that, if you are faced with an audit, you can be confident the process will be as pain-free as possible. While audits can be stressful and worrisome, if you have your financial records organized, they can be much less so.

With Audit Protection Plus, if the IRS or state contacts you in reference to any type of correction or required correspondence, tax examinations by mail or direct audits, we will contact and negotiate with the taxing authorities at no additional cost. Audit Protection Plus covers any and all costs associated with your return, prior to the appeals level, including any correspondence. This service does not include the cost of a tax advisor to attend the audit.
