If you’ve received an IRS audit letter in Tamarac, Florida—don’t panic. You’re not alone, and more importantly, you’re not powerless. With the right guidance and representation, an IRS audit can be managed and resolved professionally, without fear or guesswork.

This guide explains the audit process for 33319 taxpayers, the types of audits, common triggers, and how Polaris Tax & Accounting can protect your rights while helping you respond with confidence.

What Is an IRS Audit?

An audit is when the IRS takes a closer look at your tax return to verify the accuracy of the information you filed. Audits can be:

  • Correspondence audits – by mail, usually for one or two specific issues
  • Office audits – you’re asked to visit an IRS office with documentation
  • Field audits – an IRS agent comes to your home or business

Most Tamarac residents facing audits are selected for correspondence audits, but even those can escalate if not handled properly.
