So IRS audits have a lot of bad connotations that surround them but on a very basic level an IRS audit is the IRS coming in and checking that your tax return was filed correctly. What the IRS is looking for in an IRS audit is they’re looking for one of two things. Number one they’re looking for any income that wasn’t reported or income that wasn’t reported correctly and number two any expenses and/or credits that were not being accounted for properly or not taken appropriately. The combination of income and expenses contributes to your taxable income and the amount of tax you pay so essentially what the IRS is doing is they’re coming in and just verifying that the information is correct.

What Are My Chances of Being Audited by the IRS? So understand that the IRS has very few resources to audit taxpayers taxpayer audits are something that’s fairly time-consuming I mean if you think about what most people think about when they think about an otter they have to send somebody out that person has to look through your books and records they have to make a determination and there’s an investment of time that goes along with it most IRS offices are not particularly well staffed particularly with field auditors which is what most people equate IRS audits? To so you have to understand that the IRS doesn’t have a whole lot to go after people so again they pick and choose what they have based on the resources that they have available the type of audit that has been issued is a good indicator of what the seriousness of the audit is.
