Got a letter notifying me of an audit. Called my accountant and he reviewed the submission and accompanied me to the audit. Questions were answered and I received a letter of "acceptance as submitted"! I sent the IRS a bill for my time & expenses, and my accountant's bill. Got a phone call from the IRS asking what the bill was about. Told them their inquiry was inappropriate and that my submission was accepted as originally submitted and asked them who they expected to pay the costs of their mistake. The told me my costs were tax deductible!
My accountant was told to get the costs back and then some and I have never been audited again!
