IRS Audit Monitoring
Monitoring reads the IRS’s own account transcript codes, which can change ahead of audits, liens, and other adverse actions — notice before the letter arrives.
Are you a provider?
What it’s worth
It also reviews what has been filed against your IRS account, so irregularities — a missed payroll tax deposit, for example — surface while they are still small. Early detection keeps small issues from becoming expensive problems and preserves your window to respond within IRS deadlines.
How often you need it
Ongoing — monitoring runs continuously once it is set up, and each alert is reviewed as it arrives; there is no annual cycle to time.
What you provide
Authorise the provider to read your IRS account transcripts and confirm the entity details the table asks for; after setup, respond to alerts as they are raised.
Risks to know
Only the accounts and tax years you list are watched, and an alert is notice, not a resolution — acting on what monitoring finds is separate work.When it matters: From the first transcript read onward, whenever the IRS posts a change to the account.
