Handling an audit and responding to the IRS are crucial steps that require attention. Typically, the IRS will provide you with a list of requested items and the scope of the audit. It is essential to carefully assess what you have and determine what is accurate, incorrect, or improperly filed. Based on this evaluation, you can craft your response accordingly. 

Consider avoiding having the person who prepared your tax return represent you in an IRS audit. 

The reason behind this advice is quite simple: if there happens to be an error in your tax return, the person handling it might hesitate to admit their mistake, and could even try to hide it. They might prioritize their own interests over yours, which is not what you want.

Hence, I strongly suggest seeking a second opinion if you find yourself being audited. Ensure that whatever information or documents you provide to the IRS are truly in your best interest. Don't rush to give them anything until you are absolutely certain it will benefit you (not the other way around.)

Take care and protect your own interests when dealing with taxes and audits.
