How the IRS Selects Tax Returns for Examination

 

 

The IRS selects returns using a variety of methods, including:

1.Potential participants in abusive tax avoidance transactions.

Some returns are selected based on information obtained by the IRS through efforts to identify promoters and participants of abusive tax avoidance transactions. Examples include information received from “John Doe” summonses issued to credit card companies and businesses and participant lists from promoters ordered by the courts to be turned over to the IRS.

2.Computer Scoring. The IRS computer system has kicked out your tax return.

Some returns are selected for examination on the basis of computer scoring.  Computer programs give each return numeric “scores”. The Discriminant Function System (DIF) score rates the potential for change, based on past IRS experience with similar returns.

The Unreported Income DIF score rates the return for the potential of unreported income. IRS personnel screen the highest-scoring returns, selecting some for audit and identifying the items on these returns that are most likely to need review.

3. Large Corporations( over 5 millions dollars.)

The IRS examines many large corporate returns annually.

4.Information Matching.

IRS examines over 1.4 million taxpayers through this form of audit.

Some returns are examined because payer reports, such as Forms W-2 from employers or Form 1099 interest statements from banks, do not match the income reported on the tax return.

5. Related Examinations.( because they found errors on related tax returns to yours)

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 examination.

6. Specialized  Programs

Area offices may identify returns for examination in connection with local compliance projects. These projects require higher level management approval and deal with areas such as local compliance initiatives, return preparers or specific market segments.
