Why Are Taxpayers Audited?

We audit taxpayers to:

• Enforce Florida tax laws uniformly.
• Deter tax evasion.
• Promote voluntary compliance.
• Educate taxpayers.

While we accept most tax returns as filed, we audit some returns to verify accuracy and evaluate compliance. Audits do not always result in the taxpayer owing additional tax, penalty or interest. The auditor may adjust a credit carryover or correct distribution without assessing additional tax.  The auditor may even determine that a refund is due.

How Are Taxpayers Selected for Audit?

The methods for selecting a business or individual to audit vary from tax to tax.

Here are some examples of sources we use to identify a potential audit candidate:

• Internal Revenue Service information.
• Information sharing programs with other states and state agencies.
• Computer-based random selection.
• Analysis of Florida tax return information.
• Business publications, periodicals, journals, and directories.

What Types of Records Will I Need to Provide?

When we notify you of our intent to audit, we will also tell you what records you will need to provide.  The types of records may include, but are not limited to:

• General ledgers and journals
• Cash receipt and disbursement journals
• Purchase and sales journals
• Sales tax exemption or resale certificates
• Florida tax returns
• Federal tax returns
• Depreciation schedules
• Property records
• Other documentation to verify amounts entered on tax returns

You must keep your records for three years since an audit can extend back that far.

The Department may audit for periods longer than three years if you did not file, or filed a substantially incorrect return or payment.
