Protection Plus Audit Defense Plan in Worcester, MA
Add peace of mind—help is ready if the IRS or state contacts you
Protection Plus is an audit defense add-on that supports you if your return is selected for an audit or you receive a notice. Instead of paying unexpected hourly fees later, you have coverage in place for covered situations (program terms apply).
What Protection Plus is
Audit defense support that’s on standby after you file
Even straightforward returns can receive IRS or state notices, and an audit can be stressful to handle alone. Protection Plus is designed to take the “what if” out of tax season by providing support after your return is filed. If a notice arrives, you don’t have to decipher deadlines, paperwork, or IRS language by yourself. You contact us, and the response process is handled under the program’s coverage and guidelines.
What’s included
Clear coverage, simple steps, and fewer surprises
Protection Plus typically covers up to three years of audit defense services for the tax return you filed with the add-on, including assistance with IRS or state notices and audits related to that return (program terms apply). Coverage is often described as up to $1,000,000 of tax liability protection for covered matters, depending on the plan and situation.
If you receive a letter, you’ll provide it promptly and we’ll help initiate the appropriate response under the program. The goal is to keep the process organized, on time, and as low-stress as possible—without worrying about unexpected representation costs for covered services.
Three-Year Audit Defense Support
We provide audit defense support for covered returns for up to three years, so you’re not navigating notices or examinations on your own (program terms apply). If questions arise, you have professional guidance in place from the start.
Notice and Correspondence Assistance
When the IRS or state sends a letter, we help you respond accurately and on time to prevent small issues from escalating. Clear, organized communication reduces risk and keeps the process manageable.
Peace of Mind—No Matter the Complexity
Whether your return is straightforward or more complex, audit selection can be random and stressful. Having structured support in place gives you confidence and reassurance, knowing you’re prepared for the unexpected.
