Get Professional Tax Representation to Solve Your IRS and State Tax Problems
Author: Keith Huggett
While the IRS does not share the specific parameters that trigger audits, certain areas of the return are more susceptible:
- If you have a sole proprietorship you are more likely to be audited
- If your charitable contributions are a higher percentage of your income than is standard for your income level, actually if any of the various itemized deductions are significantly high for your income level, it could trigger an audit.
You might be "audit bait" if any of your itemized deductions are significantly higher for you then they have been in the past.- If you have previously been audited for unreported income for which the IRS has received 1099 or other income statements, or if the IRS has audited you in the past and had significant changes to your return as filed, you are more likely to come under their scrutiny again.
- There are also compliance audits which are just about being randomly selected by the IRS.
- You could have been reported for a specific violation by a disgruntled employee, co-worker, or business partner.
