The IRS Tax Audit Selection Process
Selecting a return for audit does not always suggest that an error has been made.
Tax Returns are selected using a variety of methods, including:
- Random selection and computer screening – sometimes returns are selected based solely on a statistical formula.
- Document matching – when payor records, such as Forms W-2 or Form 1099, don’t match the information reported.
- Related examinations – returns may be selected for audit when they involve issues or transactions with other taxpayers, such as business partners or investors, whose returns were selected for audit.
IRS and State of Florida Tax Audit Methods
An IRS audit may be conducted by mail or through an in-person interview and review of the taxpayer’s records.
The interview may be at an IRS office (office audit) or at the taxpayer’s home, place of business, or accountant’s office (field audit).
The IRS will tell you what records are needed. Audits can result in no changes or changes. Any proposed changes to your return will be explained.
Audit Notification
Should your account be selected for audit, you will be notified in two ways:
1. By mail, or
2. By telephone
In the case of a telephone contact, the IRS will still send a letter confirming the audit. E-mail notification is not used by the IRS.

The Internal Revenue Service did not always issue a notice of its intent to issue a levy on taxpayer assets, according to a new report by TIGTA.
The report, from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, reviewed a statistical sample of 30 Automated Collection System taxpayers with additional assessments included in the systemic and manual levies and determined that 27 of the taxpayers (or 90 percent of them) did not receive a new notice of intent to levy after an additional assessment was made on a tax period listed on the levy.
IRS management told TIGTA they have since made computer programming changes to correct this problem. This is always the story, always!
A review of a statistical sample of 30 Integrated Collection System taxpayers with additional assessments included in the systemic levies determined that there were 18 taxpayers (or 60 percent) who did not receive a new notice of intent to levy after an additional assessment was made on a tax period listed on the levy.
When taxpayers do not pay delinquent taxes, the IRS has the authority to work directly with financial institutions and other third parties to seize taxpayers’ assets. This action is commonly referred to as a “levy.”
The law requires the IRS to notify taxpayers at least 30 calendar days prior to the issuance of a levy.
TIGTA is responsible for annually determining whether the IRS complied with the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 requirement to notify taxpayers prior to issuing levies.
The overall objective of its review was to determine whether the IRS has complied with the legal requirement to timely notify taxpayers prior to issuing levies per Internal Revenue Code Section 6330, Notice and Opportunity for Hearing Before Levy.
The report found that the IRS is generally protecting taxpayers’ rights when issuing systemic and manual levies in cases for which additional assessments were not included in the levy.
TIGTA reviewed statistical samples of systemic and manual levies issued by the Automated Collection System and the Integrated Collection System and determined that controls ensured that taxpayers were given notice of their appeal rights at least 30 calendar days prior to the issuance of the levies.
TIGTA recommended that the IRS issue interim guidance and retrain revenue officers to exclude from levies additional assessments for which taxpayers have not been given 30 calendar days’ notice.
