Does anyone have any experience with those tax relief companies that advertise negotiating with the IRS?
I fucked up a 2016 medical expense entry, got audited, now they won’t accept 2 years of vehicle mileage and say I owe $16k. Fuck the IRS!
This is why I don’t do my own taxes. Good luck brah
There are better professionals to represent you than those guys.

I’m sure but who? What kind of lawyer represents individual taxpayers? I’m only finding corporate or business tax lawyers locally.
Look for a reputable CPA
Do NOT go through those companies.
Doesn’t it suck getting MAGA’d like that?
But im willing to bet that you did overstate deductions
How much of a mileage deduction are they disallowing for you to owe 16k?
Yes "fuck the irs", but gotta figure out if YOU took a crazy deduction you were not entitled to

Oh fuck you. the irs is and always has been fucked.
I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be posting the same in a few years when they get audited on their crypto trades.
I cant offer you a lawyer but I can send some anal ease to help you get through it.

I pay for the audit protection from TurboTax.
16,000 in taxes owed would be like a 60,000 dollar adjustment to your income or more depending on your overall level of income. mileage is about 53 cents a mile. did you claim over 100,000 miles in travel?
at any rate hire a cpa that specializes in tax or an ea whose career has specialized in tax advocacy.

Just a guess but the 16K they want probably includes significant penalties.

Your situation relates to business deductions no? So call a few up and if they won’t represent you, surely they can recommend someone.

Drove 28K and 34K miles in 2 years, the IRS agent threw out all of it because I only had mileage logs and oil change receipts, she wanted to see dealer documentation of odometer readings on cars I traded in months and years ago.
That $16K number includes penalties.

That’s the best path I see for now. Thanks!

he said it was 2016 and they "audited 2 years", so no older thean 2 or 3 years worth
still seems like a crazy amount of disallowed deductions
OP what was all this mileage for?
were you actually commuting to and from medical centers, hospitals, etc. for a health concern?
did you keep any sort of documentation at all regarding the mileage?

something seems missing. the irs tells you to use a mileage log if you take the mileage deduction. you mentioned oil change receipts. did you deduct those too? you can’t do mileage and actual maintenance/depreciation on a vehicle because that’s factored into the mileage expense.
