IRVINE, Calif., March 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- An eggshell audit is a type of civil audit that is performed because a taxpayer's returns indicated that they understated their income, by omitting taxable income, claiming illegitimate deductions, and claiming tax credits they do not qualify for. As a result, the taxpayer ends up with a lower tax liability that would not be possible to receive if the correct calculations were used for their tax return.

Why you should use an Attorney to represent you in an audit

Some tax practitioners ignore or fail to identify the scenarios where they open their client or even themselves up, as the original preparer, to criminal tax liability when faced with an eggshell audit or reverse eggshell audit. Due to this all-too-common failure, a tax practitioner may jump into a situation where he or she was unaware that the client engaged in actions that constitute tax evasion. This is hazardous to their reputation with other clients, potential clients, and the taxing authorities. Knowing when to withdraw and refer the client to a criminal tax defense attorney with the right training and experience is paramount if you find yourself in this position.
