is important that you notify the auditor of any agreement or disagreement before the expiration of the

30-day period specified on the notice.

If you agree with the audit findings, sign the notice and pay the amount due, if any. If you cannot pay the

amount in full, contact the auditor to discuss possible ways to pay the liability.

If you disagree with the audit findings, you have 30 days after the notice is issued to request a

conference with the auditor and/or the auditor’s supervisor. Most differences can be resolved through

these discussions. Disputes that cannot be resolved at this level may receive further consideration after

we issue a Notice of Proposed Assessment.

After the audit is complete, you will receive a Notice of Proposed Assessment, which provides official

notice of the amount due. This document serves as a request for payment of any unpaid amounts, and

provides instructions for filing a formal or informal protest in the event you disagree with the proposed

changes. We will not take any enforcement action, such as filing a tax warrant, until you receive the

assessment and have a chance to voluntarily pay or protest the audit findings.

We will mail a Tax Audit Satisfaction Survey to randomly selected taxpayers. If you receive a survey,

please use it to rate your satisfaction with the audit actions or services. We use the results to improve

the audit process.

What Can I Do If I Encounter Problems During the Audit?

You have the right to be treated fairly by the Department. If you believe treatment has not been fair or if

you have any other problems during the audit, you should first attempt to resolve the problem locally by

meeting with the auditor’s supervisor, service center manager, and/or regional manager, as appropriate.

If the problem cannot be resolved at the local level, you may call the Taxpayer Rights Advocate at

850-617-8168 or write:
