We will act as your representative to assure that no additional exposure is created as a result of direct client contact, as we host the auditor in our offices if at all possible. State Tax Solutions’ professionals have extensive experience with audits performed by state and local taxing jurisdictions. We work closely with the auditor on your behalf and respond to all inquiries and notices to ensure that there is no interruption to your business. We will review all auditor findings and assessments and challenge or appeal these findings when they are not in your favor whenever possible. Many times we are able to find credits and/or refunds that can be applied against any tax assessed against your business.

We review your records to determine if you have overpaid sales & use taxes. Many times clients believe that since they have been routinely audited by taxing authorities that they must not be entitled to any refunds or credits. That isn’t necessarily true, as the auditor’s job is to uncover unpaid taxes not refunds. It is common for businesses to overpay taxes based on either unsound sales tax policies, or simply not being aware of exemptions or other opportunities based on laws and regulations that change very often. We work seamlessly with you to uncover these refunds and compile the necessary documentation to secure your refund claim. Typically, there is no fee unless a recovery is made.

We work with your accounting and financial personnel to ensure your business is applying the correct sales & use tax policies for purchase and sales transactions, as well as consulting on atypical transactions and situations. It is imperative that there is a proper process in place so that the policies set by management are being executed correctly as a whole in your business by your accounts payable, billing, and tax department.
