EDD Payroll Tax Audit Representation

Service Overview

Why You Want Representation Before You Say a Word

An EDD audit isn’t just a company problem — under CUIC § 1735, unpaid EDD amounts can be assessed personally against owners, officers, and responsible persons. That personal exposure is why bringing in representation early, before you hand over records or characterize your workers, matters so much.

How We Handle It

We take over EDD communication under a power of attorney, assemble the contractor documentation, and present the strongest classification defense the facts allow — challenging reclassifications and, where assessment is unavoidable, negotiating its scope.
