There are different type of tax audits. The most common type of tax audits:
1. A mail correspondence tax audit. Over 1.4 million tax returns are audited this way. the IRS simply sends a notice advising you there was a math or computation error on your tax return.
2. The DIF tax audit. Your tax return fell out of the national standard for income and expense ratios. Each return has a DIF number attached and is classified information.
3. Specialty program. IRS runs special programs on industries and businesses. Many times this can relate to the area abuses.
4. Whistle blower. Someone rats you out.
5. National Research Projects
Importance of National Research Projects Results. ( in depth look )
Because NRP results are used to develop or update formulas for scoring returns as to their probability for additional tax or additional income, it is essential that examinations be thorough. Examiners should remain mindful of causing undue burden for the taxpayer.
Scope of Examination .
Every classified item must be examined. An inquiry or an inspection of records and documents must be made for all classified line items.
Expansion of Audit Scope.
If the examination reveals changes to any of the classified items, the examiner usually considers expanding the examination to include other items, if any, on the return or supporting schedules. These audits become more in depth.
NRP selection is not a basis for expanding the scope of an examination, if the examination was in process prior to the return being designated by NRP.
For any return closed prior to its designation as an NRP return, an NRP report will be completed based on the results of such examination if the NRP Office determines the results are valid for study purposes.
These NRP tax audits are used to set the National Standards for DIF scores.
Related Entity Examinations.
If a related entity is classified, the tax examiner usually follows the required filing checks procedures. If the related entity is not examined, the examiner will document why it was not examined and no-change the issue on RGS. If the related entity is deemed worthy of examination, the examiner needs to timely request controls on the related return and open an examination on that entity.
If the related entity is outside the group control, the examiner will follow the procedures outlined in the IRM for collateral examinations.
Depth of a NRP Tax Examination.
Tax Examiners must use their professional judgment concerning the depth of examination required for any particular item on the tax return bearing in mind the research nature of the examination.
Tax Examiners should use professional judgment regarding the depth of examination of an issue. The depth of the examination of a NRP examination is the same as is used in field audits.
NRP taxpayers must not be held to a higher standard or more in-depth audit procedures.
Issues should be perused to the depth necessary to reach a support able conclusion. Oral testimony may be accepted in appropriate situations.
