I got audited last year for my 2007 taxes and instead of fighting it I just went ahead and paid the IRS what they said I owed them. I think I did my tax return wrong that year but I also think that I shouldn't have owed the IRS what they asked for when I got audited. So my question is....Once you get audited and pay the taxes to the IRS, is that it? Or can I get hire a CPA and resubmit my 2007 tax forms?

The absolute deadline is 3 years from when you filed *or* 2 years from when you paid the tax whichever is later. Since you say you paid in 2010, you have until sometime in 2012.



Even if you got a Notice of Deficiency, once the tax is paid, you are eligible to amend.



When you say audit, was it an actual audit? The IRS does 3 kinds of changes. CP2000 which is a simple letter saying you forgot to report income and here's what the computer thinks you owe. Depending on what someone forgets, there may or may not be something to protest. Letter audits where you are asked to explain a line on your tax return (either you could or you couldn't) and full blown real audits where the IRS calls you in. Hard to tell you how to get help without knowing what you think the problem is.



By the way, Enrolled Agents are usually cheaper than CPAs.

you're in a much better tax bracket because you made extra money. and you purely had under 10% federal earnings tax withheld. yet please, do no longer *****. you probably did it precisely acceptable. thank you to circulate!!!!! stable interest!!! a suited tax return is once you the two come again or owe interior of $a hundred. It in simple terms does not get to any extent further than that. or you have given the IRS an interest unfastened loan all 3 hundred and sixty 5 days long.once you have been getting back $1000 refund, you have been letting the IRS save $1000 and not pay you a dime interest on it. do you comprehend absolutely everyone who might loan you $1000 for a 300 and sixty 5 days and not cost you interest? in case you may prefer to get a "refund" back on the top of the 300 and sixty 5 days, start up taking $a hundred a month and placed it right into a CD. Then on the top of the 300 and sixty 5 days you've gotten $1200 PLUS interest! some thing you does not are transforming into to be from the IRS in case you overpaid them. Or in case you like yet differently to maintain some on paying tax, placed some money into an IRA or 401K. back this is tax deferred, you're saving money and you're creating wealth on your money on the comparable time. stable interest!

If you previously rolled over and played dead and now can provide the substantiation IRS wanted, you can file an amended return to adjust the adjustment. You have two years from the date you paid the additional tax or April 15, 2011 to file the amended return, whichever is later to claim a refund. You can prepare the return yourself or have a professional do it, whichever you prefer.

I believe you had to protest the assessment at the time

since you paid the amount without protesting I think your claim is over and done
