Fresh Start Tax client Education about tax audits.
The IRS examines tax returns to verify that the tax reported is correct.
Selecting a return for examination does not always suggest that the taxpayer has either made an error or been dishonest. In fact, some examinations result in a refund to the taxpayer or acceptance of the return without change.
The overwhelming majority of taxpayers files returns and make payments timely and accurately. Taxpayers have a right to expect fair and efficient tax administration from the IRS, including verification that taxes are correctly reported and paid with enforcement actions against those who fail to comply voluntarily.
Taxpayer Rights during a IRS tax audit.
The IRS trains its tax audit employees to explain and protect taxpayers’ rights throughout their contacts with taxpayers. These rights include:
A right to professional and courteous treatment by IRS employees.
A right to privacy and confidentiality about tax matters.
A right to know why the IRS is asking for information, how the IRS will use it and what will happen if the requested information is not provided.
A right to representation, by oneself or an authorized representative. This is your POA.
A right to appeal disagreements, both within the IRS and before the courts.
How Tax Returns Are Selected fora Tax Examination by the IRS.
The IRS selects returns using a variety of methods, including:
Computer Scoring — the most common method. Some returns are selected for tax 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
.
Other Reasons — 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 segments.
