about IRS at 7:30 what does it mean "won't talk to them without immunity"? Should I state this when they ask me some questions?
- Digory 9y agoNo. You should not ask for immunity, which will be used to show you were concerned about needing immunity. You should ask for a lawyer.

TurboTax has this audit defense insurance add-on when you submit your taxes. If you read the verbiage, it explicitly states DO NOT answer any questions under any circumstances, and defer them to the audit defense. Don't even answer "How is the weather over there?" It's best to have some representation when dealing with the IRS or any federal agency. As the video continues on to show, Martha Stewart was convicted for lying because she decided to talk first and deny involvement before lawyering up.
- kolbe 9y agoIt's a good way to find out if they were lying when they said you aren't a suspect. You should ask for it if their claim is that they want to talk to you about someone else's behavior. If they want to talk about your behavior, find a lawyer.
