The State of Florida has been very hard pressed to raise Revenue dollars due to the budget short fall and the audits are coming our way. Whatever you do, do not go into the State of Florida without professional representation or they will eat you for lunch.
How Are Taxpayers Selected for Audit by the Department of Revenue?
The methods for selecting a business or individual to audit varies from tax to tax. Here are some examples of sources used to identify a potential audit candidate:
* Internal Revenue Service information provided to the State
* Information sharing programs with other states and state agencies to the DOR
* Computer-based random selection
* Analysis of Florida tax return information by in-house auditors
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.
Some of the benefits of immediate professional representation:
* You do not have to talk with the Department of Revenue
* You know your case will be handled and resolved as quickly as possible
* You know you are getting the very best deal, solution and resolution
What are the dangers of self representation:
* Be aware of the far reaching power of the State of Florida
* Be aware of their seizure and warrant power
* Be aware that the State of Florida is securing information about you to collect the tax in full
Why the State of Florida will work better with a professional company than me the taxpayer:
* Professionals know what the Department of Revenue, State of Florida is looking for
