Audit Insurance

The odds of being audited by the IRS can vary based on several factors, including income level, the complexity of your tax return, and recent IRS policies. While the overall audit rate has been fairly low over the past few years, the IRS has indicated plans to increase enforcement efforts in the coming years.

As of recent data, the overall audit rate for individual taxpayers is around 1% or less. However, higher-income earners are more likely to be audited, with rates exceeding 10% for that group. Certain deductions, credits, or unusual patterns in tax filings can also trigger audits.

For 2025, the IRS may focus on specific areas or categories that raise flags, so it’s important to ensure your tax return is accurate and well-documented to minimize your chances of an audit. We prepare each return with this in mind but also have zero control over who the service decides to audit and the extent of the audit. A full scope audit could cost $5,000 or even $30,000+ depending on how much representation is needed and how complex the service is being.  If you're concerned about potential audits, consider utilizing services like audit insurance for added peace of mind.

What Audit Insurance Includes:
  1. Financial Protection:
    Our Audit Insurance covers the costs associated with IRS audits, including professional fees for representation and the preparation of necessary documentation. You won’t face unexpected expenses if you’re selected for an audit.
  2. Dedicated Expert Support:
    Should you be audited, our team of experienced tax professionals will represent you throughout the entire process. We handle all communication with the IRS, ensuring you receive knowledgeable guidance and support every step of the way.
  3. Confidence and Peace of Mind:
    Knowing you have professional assistance available reduces the stress associated with potential audits. You can focus on your personal and professional responsibilities, knowing that you’re well-prepared for any challenges that may arise.
  4. States: 

You can purchase federal insurance but also state insurance. Each are sold and bid separately. 

Cost:

Cost varies per client as some clients implement aggressive tax planning strategies which (all though defendable) can trigger audits. There are 4 categories that we evaluate and assess the risks with insurance the audit.

  1. Complexity
  2. Aggressiveness
  3. Tax Losses Utilized Through Planning
  4. Income Level

After completion of your tax return, we will analyze your audit risks by the above 4 risk areas and present to you a cost to insure the audit of that filing for both federal and state. 

Caveats:

The IRS has 3 years to audit your tax return and you must be a current and engaged client in order to claim your audit insurance. For instance, if you buy audit insurance for the 2024 tax year and you are pulled for audit in 2027 but are not an active client in 2027, we cannot defend that audit. You must remain a current and active client.

We cannot guarantee favorable results from an audit as we prepare tax returns off data provided by our clients. Our team is trained and able to defend positions we take and protect your tax strategies but are not liable for faulty information in the preparation process. This could include unsupported expenses or undocumented information provided.

Audit insurance only covers the year presented and paid for. If you purchase audit insurance for 2024 tax year and your 2023 tax year return is audited we can defend that audit under our hourly rates, but not under your insurance fee.

Tax Planning

Tax Plan Lite
$4,995

Tax Plan Lite – (recommended for new Revo clients)

A lite tax plan involves us gathering information on your personal situation. We will review past filings if you are a new client with us. We will also review income streams, investment portfolio, strategies utilized to date, investment budgets, and industries you are interested in investing in. If you are interested in real estate investing or growing your business, the tax plan will form to your interests. Once we target your interests, we will educate you on all available tax opportunities in those industries or areas. 

If you are self-employed, areas of tax planning could include:
  • S-corporation elections
  • 199a deductions
  • Paying your children
  • Maximizing deductions in your business
  • R&D tax credits
  • Selling your business and structuring an exit
  • Retirement plans 
  • Optimizing timing 
If you are an employee, all is not lost. Areas to reduce significant taxes could be:
  • Oil and Gas Investing
  • Real estate investing (short or long term rentals)
  • Capital loss harvesting
  • Crypto strategies
  • Solar and EV credits
  • Charitable funds and tax credit buydowns

These are just some of the ideas we can bring to you and educate you on what is available. After the presentation meeting we will schedule an accountability meeting with you a month or two after to make sure the plan we presented is being followed and executed. A plan is only good if it is put into practice after all.

Tax Plan Comprehensive
$9,995

Tax Plan Comprehensive – (recommended for new Revo clients)

A comprehensive tax plan takes everything from the lite tax plans and puts pen to paper on tax savings. For new clients, we will review prior tax filings done and see if any opportunities were missed and possibly amended. We then obtain paystubs to date, financials to date and annualize your income and deductions creating a mock tax return. We call this a baseline. A baseline tells us the amount of tax liability is applied to you without any tax planning with the information you provide. 

Tax planning is unique and different for each client.  If you are self employed areas of tax planning could include:
  • S-corporation elections
  • 199a deductions
  • Paying your children
  • Maximizing deductions in your business
  • R&D tax credits
  • Selling your business and structuring an exit
  • Retirement plans 
  • Optimizing timing 
If you are an employee, all is not lost. Areas to reduce significant taxes could be:
  • Oil and Gas Investing
  • Real estate investing (short or long term rentals)
  • Capital loss harvesting
  • Crypto strategies
  • Solar and EV credits
  • Charitable funds and tax credit buydowns

After the baseline is generated we educate you on opportunities available, we will then create scenarios of potential tax planning opportunities and compare that against the baseline. The scenarios will include targeted industries you are interested in investing in as well as your budget. For instance, let’s say you are interested in real estate investing. If you purchased a rental property for $600,000 and materially participated in the management of the rental, what would that save you in taxes? We will tell you. We can compound scenarios and you could invest in real estate, purchase a vehicle for your business, restructure your LLCs and/or max out retirement contributions. A scenario analysis will help you deploy your cash to the best strategy for tax purposes.

We will present to you the baseline tax liability and scenario analysis along with a deliverable tax plan with tax law, defense mechanisms and savings. 

After the presentation meeting we will schedule an accountability meeting with you a month or two after to make sure the plan we presented is being followed and executed. A plan is only good if it is put into practice after all.
