Here are three reasons a person should consider getting audit protection when having their taxes done:

📝Peace of Mind: Audit protection offers reassurance that if the IRS selects your return for review, you’ll have professional assistance to navigate the audit process, reducing stress and uncertainty.

📝Expert Representation: With audit protection, tax professionals who prepared your return or other specialists will represent you before the IRS, helping to ensure that you comply with tax laws and that any questions or issues are addressed properly

📝Minimized Financial Impact: An audit can lead to additional taxes owed, penalties, and interest. With audit protection, you may have coverage for the costs of professional support, potentially reducing financial strain and helping you avoid costly mistakes.

Here are four reasons tax clients can’t use their last paycheck stub to file taxes:

🎓Incomplete Information: A paycheck stub may not include all necessary details for accurate tax filing, such as total income for the year, proper deductions, or contributions to retirement plans that are essential for an accurate tax return.

🎓Year-to-Date (YTD) Figures May Be Inaccurate: The last paycheck stub typically shows YTD totals, but if there are errors or missing information from previous pay periods, it could lead to incorrect reporting of income or deductions.

🎓Missing Tax Forms: The IRS requires official documents like W-2s (for employees) or 1099s (for contractors), which summarize total income and withholdings for the entire year. A paycheck stub doesn’t serve as a substitute for these forms, which are more comprehensive.
Lack of Withholding and Adjustments:

🎓Paycheck stubs do not reflect year-end tax adjustments such as tax credits, benefits, or specific employer adjustments to withholding, which can affect the final tax liability or refund.
