IRS Auditors assume that if you represent yourself, you must know the tax laws and regulations as well as the IRM (Internal Revenue Manual) at least as well as them. Otherwise, you would have a Attorney, or Enrolled Agent present. They assume that you know they are charged with acting in the best interest of the US Government, and are not a benevolent civil servant. The result is that this is very much like representing yourself in a criminal case. You are the only one who doesn't know the rules.

In all audit situations, except a correspondence audit, if you are notified that you must comply with an IRS audit, you should not try to handle it yourself. Find an experienced professional to accompany you and to represent you before the IRS. An experienced professional generally knows what to expect and how to handle an auditor's trick questions. Also, do not expect to walk away without owing something. Few survive an audit without having to pay at least a token relinquishment. An experienced professional can negotiate on your behalf to minimize any disallowed deductions and credits resulting in your having to pay additional tax liabilities.

At the end of an audit, the IRS will send you an Examination Report. This is basically a summary of what the auditor discovered about your case, the conclusions regarding what you owe, and the bill.
