Depends on the kind of audit. Yours sounds like the very specific kind. I once had the worst possible kind - a fishing expedition really where they hung out in my dining room for 4 days looking for unreported income.

Actually, she was very pleasant. I had a friend high up in the IRS who gave me the advice to be extremely pleasant and professional. He said you are basically looking at a clerk making an hourly wage and the natural tendency is for them to be resentful of someone who they think of as a cheating fat cat.

The kindness paid off. She nailed me for a few small things, compromised on others, and gave me some good advice to boot. I didn't call my accountant - no need to if you understand the law and have not cheated too much.
