RB...who did you use, and is he any good ?
A retired friend of the family. He used to be an auditer and then went into tax law. he did this as a favor to me. He was good but I am still paying out the arse. My CPA was a criminal (found out after the fact) and because of this I have to suffer. You can get extensions and that is the recomendation I recieved was to extend it as long as possible then they will actually close the audit. once the audit is closed tell them you want to settle it and they will have to reopen it by then they will be anxious to settle. Take as much time as you can with everything. It took me almost 3 years to get mine taken care of. If your CPA is good he/she should know this already.
