Being Former IRS Agents and Managers we can tell you, it is not in your best interest to represent yourself during a IRS audit and we should know.
When an IRS agent finds a taxpayer by themselves in a tax audit they pretty much can do whatever they feel because after all they are the law.
Taxpayers going in unrepresented have no idea what the boundaries and restrictions of IRS.
Most taxpayers do not know that they have tax rights during an IRS tax audit and to go in up unrepresented is foolish.
 
IRS can extend the scope of the tax audit
 
Keep in mind that an IRS agent has the right to expand the tax audit beyond the scope of the initial paperwork sent to the taxpayer and many times tax professionals can keep the IRS from going much deeper into a taxpayer or companies tax return.
The agent has the right to go three years back an additional time if they feel there are large omissions of income.
Taxpayer should have the best IRS audit defense and audit representation possible. Wet whether it is an individual business or corporate tax return former IRS agents know the system.
 
Facts of Internal Revenue Service Tax  Audits
 
The Internal Revenue Service audits 1.03% of all tax returns filed.
I would not recommend you play the IRS lottery game because of your tax return false out of the national standards you have an excellent chance of being audited by the Internal Revenue Service.
Nationwide, the IRS audits 1.5 million tax returns per year, that includes both field audits and IRS mail correspondence audits.
359,000 are actually audited by local IRS agents and rest are by mail or correspondence tax audits.
IRS collects $10.2 billion a year as a result of IRS audits by field agents and $5.2 billion a year by document matching programs.
 
How Returns Are Selected for Examination
 
The IRS selects returns using a variety of methods, including:
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.
Computer Scoring.
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 (UIDIF) 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.
Large Corporations.
The IRS examines many large corporate returns annually.
Information Matching.
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.
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 examination.
Others.
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 s
 
 
Top Question Asked by taxpayers:
 
How far back can the IRS go to audit my return?
The IRS can include returns filed within the last three years in an audit.
Additional  tax years can be added if a substantial error is identified.
If a substantial error is identified, the IRS will not go back more than the last six years.
The IRS tries to audit tax returns as soon as possible after they are filed.
Accordingly most audits will be of returns filed within the last two years.
 
Statute of Limitations on tax audits
If an audit is for an older year, you may be requested to extend the statute of limitations for assessment of your tax return.
The statute of limitations limits the time allowed to assess additional tax.
The statute of limitations is generally three years after a return is due or was filed, whichever is later.
Refund Statutes – There is also a statute of limitations for making refunds.
If the audit is not resolved and the statute of limitations date is nearing, you may be asked to extend the statute of limitations date.
This will allow you additional time to provide further documentation to support your position, request an appeal if you do not agree with the audit results, or to claim a tax refund or credit.
It also allows the IRS time to complete the audit and provides time to process the audit results.
You do not have to agree to extend the statute of limitations date.
However, if you do not agree, the examiner will be forced to make a determination based upon the information they currently have.
Therefore, the examiner may not be able to consider additional adjustments, such as expenses, that could lower the amount of tax due.
