Is an Audit one of the most awful things that can happen to a person?

When that dreaded notice comes informing you that your return has been selected for Examination, it can make you weak in the knees. There are several types of Audit or Examination. Some of the more common ones are as follows:

A general randomly selected Audit. These are very difficult, because the IRS Revenue Agent will look at all aspects of the return that was selected for Examination.

Examination of a particular expenses on your return. The IRS may believe that you are claiming expenses that you are not entitled to, such as travel expenses, business expenses or other items. If so, they will look extensively at the documentation regarding the items in question.

The Internal Revenue Service also might believe that you are not declaring all of your income. Often the amount that was reported as being paid to a taxpayer to the IRS differs from the amount declared on the tax return. This will trigger an Examination.

Failing to file a return. If a person or business doesn't file a return, the IRS will file one for them. This is called a Substitute for Return or SFR. They will then send a Notice of Deficiency, which if not protested will result in the tax being assessed. As you can imagine, if it is prepared by the IRS, it usually isn't in the taxpayers favor. Income might be overstated. Expenses will not be calculated.

If your return has been selected for Examination or you receive a notice that the IRS is going to assess taxes against you, you need legal help NOW! There are strict time deadlines that must be complied with. Documentation must be gathered and organized in a manner that is readily understandable. The Audit process is surely not fun. But if you have competent legal counsel, you will have a much better chance of getting through the process with less money owed to the IRS than without help.

If your time deadlines have passed, you will owe the tax. Then your options to protest the assessment are limited. One way of having the matter reopened and reviewed is to file for Audit Reconsideration.
