An IRS Tax Audit can be one
of the scariest situations a
person or business can face.
Often times the IRS has a
distinct advantage because
the average person doesn't
know enough tax law to
defend him/herself against
an audit.
If you're audited by the IRS
this year, you wouldn't be
alone. In 1997, some 1.66
million individuals were
audited by the IRS, or about
1.5 percent of all
taxpayers. Statistically,
the Tax Audits very few tax
returns. Most tax returns
singled out by the IRS for
audit contain either: tax
deductions that appear to be
too high in relationship to
the person's income; tax
items that are erroneous;
tax items that require proof
or an explanation; or are on
the IRS' list of hot tax
issues. It is important that
the Tax Audits tax returns
effectively, and the IRS
puts a general fear in all
taxpayers of being audited
to encourage voluntary
compliance with the income
tax laws. The U.S. tax
system depends on voluntary
compliance. With today's
computers there are now more
ways than ever that the IRS
can monitor your tax
compliance.
