What is an IRS Audit?

The IRS conducts over ten thousand audits per year. The audit process involves a review of the individual and/or business tax return(s) and supporting documents to confirm that information has been reported correctly and that the tax due is correct. There are different kinds of audits. Some are in person (office or field audits) while others are done via mail (correspondence audits). If subject to a correspondence audit, the taxpayer will receive a letter in the mail asking for more information about certain items on their tax return such as income information, expense information and itemized deduction information.

IRS Audit Selection

There are several reasons why a taxpayer’s tax return might be selected by the IRS for examination which include:
• The information the IRS has on file for the taxpayer is different than what the taxpayer may have reported
• Random selection or computer screening whereby the return is selected purely based on a statistical formulas• The information on the report triggers review and example would be large schedule C deductions for a sole proprietorship

• Related examinations where the tax returns of taxpayer’s business partners or investors are subject to examination

Years Subject to Audit

Generally, the IRS can include tax returns filed in the last three years in an Audit. If they identify a substantial errors, additional years may be included in Audit. The IRS rarely goes back more than six years.

If the audit is not concluded within the typical three-year timeframe, the IRS may request that the taxpayer consent to an extension of the statute of limitations for assessing tax. Taxpayers are not required to do so and are encouraged to consult with a Tax Professional in these situations.
