What is an IRS audit?
An IRS tax audit is a review-examination of an organization’s or individual’s accounts and financial information to ensure information is being reported correctly, according to the tax laws, to verify the amount of tax reported is accurate.
IRS Tax Audit Selection Process
Selecting a tax return for audit does not always suggest that an error has been made. Returns are selected using a variety of methods, including:
Random selection and computer screening : sometimes returns are selected based solely on a statistical formula.
Document matching : when payor records, such as Forms W-2 or Form 1099, don’t match the information reported.
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 audit.
IRS Tax Audit Methods
An IRS audit may be conducted by mail or through an in-person interview and review of the taxpayer’s records. The interview may be at an IRS office (office audit) or at the taxpayer’s home, place of business, or accountant’s office (field audit).
The IRS will tell you what records are needed. Audits can result in no changes or changes.

Discriminant Index Function (DIF) Overview
This chapter discusses sources of discriminant index function (DIF) returns.
DIF as referenced in IRM 4.19.11.1.4, Sources of Returns for Classification, is a mathematical technique used to score income tax returns for examination potential.
These formulas were developed based on available NRP data. Each return measured under DIF receives a DIF score.
Generally, the higher the score, the greater the audit potential. The highest scored returns are made available to Examination upon request.
DIF mathematical formulas are confidential and for official use only. The DIF score assigned to a return should not be disclosed.
Types of DIF Returns
The following types of returns are computer scored under the DIF System:
- Individual
- Corporation
- S Corporation
- Partnership
- Fiduciary
