Why you may have been selected for a tax audit
1% of all tax returns are audited by the Internal Revenue Service. The higher income you make the greater potential of a tax audit.
Tax returns are selected for audits in several ways. The most common method is through the DIF process.
The primary way that the IRS selects returns for audit is the Discriminate Function (DIF) system.  Every tax return has a DIF score. The DIF system uses mathematical formulas to weigh the various characteristics of tax returns and score them accordingly, in an effort to find the returns that would most likely have a difference between taxes owed and reported. IRS uses revenue agents and tax examiners to then look over every tax return to verify that a particular tax return has audit potential.
We have a revenue agent on staff who works in our office that used  to classify tax returns at the service center.
An example of this
For example, if an individual earns $60,000 in a year and makes a charitable contribution of $6,000, that characteristic would more than likely carry a higher weight than it would for an individual who had $700,000 in income and made that same charitable contribution; the first return would receive a higher score.
As a general rule, the higher the score, the higher the probability of a tax change, the highest scoring returns are then forwarded for further review to a tax examiner.
There are several other ways that returns can be selected for further examination
Corporate Officer Return Compliance Check
As a part of every corporate or business audit, the IRS will determine whether the corporate officers’ returns have been filed.  Generally the revenue agent will make this determination.
The IRS will review the return for items that appear large, unusual, or otherwise questionable and will then determine whether or not the return will be audited. This routine check does not constitute an audit, but as a result of it, corporate officers may be subject to a greater level of scrutiny than those who are not subject to this additional review.
Usually experienced revenue agents can determine immediately how deep the tax audit needs to go.
Flow-through Examinations  too others
If the IRS proposes a change to the filed return of a partnership, S-corporation or trust, the partners, shareholders or distributees of a trust may see their income changed as well. This may result in additional scrutiny of the individual’s return and a possible separate examination. Some of these tax examinations may last as long as the year.
The National Research Program
See our website for more on this.
In this  NRP program, the IRS conducts examinations to gather data for use throughout the IRS in an effort to improve the tax system. Tax Returns are randomly selected to allow the IRS to collect statistically valid information about how taxpayers meet their taxpaying responsibilities.
These tax audits are generally more thorough than the so-called regular types of audits because of their basis in research. Many professionals call least tax audits, the audits from hell because many times the IRS will audit every single item on the tax return.
IRS will use these tax return results to set up national standards for DIF scores mentioned above.
IRS Matching Programs
Under this type of audit the IRS would match various reporting documents, such as Forms 1099 for dividends or interest, with the income reported on the tax return.
If there is a mismatch or a missing amount, the IRS will contact the taxpayer for more information. The taxpayer must then respond to the IRS with an explanation of the difference or an agreement to pay the amount due.
IRS audits approximately 1.4 million taxpayers as a result of mismatches through the matching program.
Billions of dollars are collected as a result of these matching programs.
