The Different Types of Audits conducted by the IRS
1. The famous Correspondence Mail/Audit – 1.4 million a year worth of tax audits
This is the most common type of audit and is simply a letter from the IRS, asking you to provide documentation for tax deductions and credits, or asking for other records.
The IRS conducts over 1.1 million correspondents are male audits every year. As a result of these correspondence audits IRS collects over $10 billion annually.
These tax audits occurs when your records and the IRS records do not match up.
Many times you forgot to report a W-2 or a 1099, the IRS catches the mistake and will send you out a mail or correspondence tax audit. As a general rule these audits do not take place to year and a half after the initial federal tax return was filed.
It is very important to carefully review your tax return to make sure all W-2 and 1099 information is on that return, if not you can expect an IRS nasty gram about 18 months after filing your initial tax return.
2. IRS Office Audit out of the Local IRS Office.
These are fast and quick IRS tax audits by IRS personal called Office Auditors.
This type of audit involves a letter from the IRS asking you to compile documents from a list they provide you, and then report to your local IRS office to go over them with an IRS office auditor.
Many times these types of small tax audits are used for small businesses, such as those operated from your home.
Many times they will be auditing issues like Hobby losses, travel and entertainment or business expenses that fall on the national norms. IRS does not spend a lot of time on these office audits as the agents are taught to quickly move through them.
When I was working at the Internal Revenue Service the average agent would close 15 the 20 audits on a weekly basis.
3. Field Audit by IRS Revenue Agents, as seasoned IRS Agents, usually a CPA.
This type involves an IRS revenue agent coming to your home or business to inspect your books and facility, and better understand how the business works.
It is important that you hire a very experienced and effective tax professional because these audits can dig very deep and can be very lengthy .
Being a former IRS agent in teaching instructor I would caution any taxpayer about representing themselves during this type of IRS audit.
As a general rule these audits can last from two weeks up to year depending on the work schedule and the audit issues involved.
This is less common for individuals, but much more common for larger businesses. many times in these type of audits they will look back on prior tax returns and look at individuals involved at their tax returns as well.
They will look at partners of a corporation or LLC and do a thorough examination of all income or business tax records.
These types of audits can result in criminal referrals.
4. TCMP Audit
The TCMP, or Taxpayer Compliance Measurement Program,.
It is the least common type of audit.
This is an audit that occurs completely randomly, and without any evidence that you have done anything wrong, but simply as a sort of spot-checking that the IRS does on randomly selected tax returns every year.
The reason the Internal Revenue Service conducts the tax compliance measurement program it is to determine normal and regional norms for all tax returns and keep them in the IRS computer banks for statistical purposes.
It is important to note when the Internal Revenue Service does a taxpayer compliance measurement audit they will audit the entire tax return yes, everything on it.
