There are other advantages to having Tax Audit Defense insurance than just having protection in the event of an audit. First of all there is a tax hotline, where a number of tax professionals are standing by Monday through Friday every week of the year to answer any tax question that you have. You can ask as many questions as you like and call as many times as you like. The second major service of Tax Audit Defense is they will review your tax return for accuracy to make sure you are taking advantage of all the deductions available to you. They will also review your tax return to identify any audit triggers. They will not only review your most recent return, but they will review any return that you prepared in the last 3 years. Another advantage of Audit Insurance is a Quarterly Tax Bulletin. This quarterly publication provides you with current information on any IRS legislation that could impact your tax status. It helps you learn more about how to minimize your tax liability while enhancing your financial well being. It also offers helpful tips on avoiding tax audit pitfalls and lets you know what is happening within the IRS on an ongoing basis.
