What is an IRS Tax Audit?

The IRS conducts regular, random audits to ensure that they are getting paid the right amount of taxes. And although being audited is not necessarily a bad thing, it can be stressful and tedious even for those who didn’t commit fraud. And if you did, hefty fines and even jail time can be your criminal penalties.

tax settlement and tax levyWhen the IRS conducts a tax audit, the process is mostly triggered by either of the following reasons:

1. Clerical errors (i.e., data entry errors)
2. Unreported income
3. Disproportionate or unusually high deductions (e.g., charitable donations, business expenses, home office deductions)
4. Non-existent dependants
5. Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)
6. Self-employment with excessive reported losses

There are also some other reasons that the IRS chose to audit you. Depending on the severity of the reason, the auditing process can be done through either of the following methods:

Correspondence audit – If your case is not at all complicated, this method will be used. All communication will be done through the mail, requiring you to send documents for the IRS to cross-reference your information with the records they have from your stockbrokers, employers, lenders, etc.

Office audits – If mail is not enough to resolve the issue, an IRS agent will set a meeting with you in one of their local offices. Our audit defense lawyers will not only help you prepare the paperwork for this auditing process, but we will also represent you during the meeting.

Field examinations – For critical cases, the IRS would opt for an in-person review of your financial records within your own home or business. Field examinations are the most meticulous and comprehensive of all the auditing methods and are primarily done by a highly experienced IRS agent.

No matter what method the IRS will use for their tax audit, you can trust our Lugoff IRS audit defense attorney to handle all the preparations and represent you in every appointment with the IRS.
