Why am I being selected for an audit?

Selection for an audit does not always suggest there’s a problem.

The IRS uses several different methods:

• Random selection and computer screening – sometimes returns are selected based solely on a statistical formula.

We compare your tax return against “norms” for similar returns. We develop these “norms” from audits of a statistically valid random sample of returns, as part of the National Research Program the IRS conducts.

The IRS uses this program to update return selection information.

• Related examinations – we may select your returns when they involve issues or transactions with other taxpayers, such as business partners or investors, whose returns were selected for audit.

Next, an experienced auditor reviews the return. They may accept it; or if the auditor notes something questionable, they will identify the items noted and forward the return for assignment to an examining group.

Note: filing an amended return does not affect the selection process of the original return.

However, amended returns also go through a screening process and the amended return may be selected for audit. Additionally, a refund is not necessarily a trigger for an audit.

How am I notified?

Should your account be selected for audit, we will notify you by mail. We won’t initiate an audit by telephone.
How will the IRS conduct my audit?

The IRS manages audits either by mail or through an in-person interview to review your 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).

Remember, you will be contacted initially by mail. The IRS will provide all contact information and instructions in the letter you will receive.

If we conduct your audit by mail, our letter will request additional information about certain items shown on the tax return such as income, expenses, and itemized deductions. If you have too many books or records to mail, you can request a face-to-face audit.

The IRS will provide contact information and instructions in the letter you receive.
Depending on the issues in your audit, IRS examiners may use one of these Audit Techniques Guides to assist them. These guides will give you an idea of what to expect.

What do I need to provide?

The IRS will provide you with a written request for the specific documents we want to see. Here’s a listing of records the IRS may request.
The IRS accepts some electronic records that are produced by tax software.

The IRS may request those in lieu of or in addition to other types of records. Contact your auditor to determine what we can accept.
The law requires you to keep all records you used to prepare your tax return – for at least three years from the date the tax return was filed.

How do I know if the IRS received my response?

For any delivery service you may use, always request confirmation that the IRS has received it. For example, if you use the US Postal Service, you can request one of their additional services to ensure delivery confirmation.

What if I need more time to respond?

For audits conducted by mail – fax your written request to the number shown on the IRS letter you received. If you are unable to submit the request by fax, mail your request to the address shown on the IRS letter. We can ordinarily grant you a one-time automatic 30-day extension.

IRS will contact you if we are unable to grant your extension request.

However, if you received a “Notice of Deficiency” by certified mail, we cannot grant additional time for you to submit supporting documentation.

You may continue to work with us to resolve your tax matter, but we cannot extend the time you have to petition the U.S. Tax Court beyond the original 90 days.

For audits conducted by in-person interview – If your audit is being conducted in person, contact the auditor assigned to your audit to request an extension. If necessary, you may contact the auditor’s manager.

How far back can the IRS go to audit my return?

Generally, the IRS can include returns filed within the last three years in an audit. If we identify a substantial error, we may add additional years.

IRS usually don’t go back more than the last six years.

The IRS tries to audit tax returns as soon as possible after they are filed. Accordingly most audits will be of returns filed within the last two years.
If an audit is not resolved, we may request extending the statute of limitations for assessment tax.

The statute of limitations limits the time allowed to assess additional tax.

It is generally three years after a return is due or was filed, whichever is later. There is also a statute of limitations for making refunds. Extending the statute gives you more time to provide further documentation to support your position; request an appeal if you do not agree with the audit results; or to claim a tax refund or credit. It also gives the IRS time to complete the audit and provides time to process the audit results.

You don’t have to agree to extend the statute of limitations date. However if you don’t agree, the auditor will be forced to make a determination based upon the information provided.

You can find more information about extending a statute of limitations in Publication 1035, Extending the Tax Assessment Period, or from your auditor.

How long does an audit take?

The length varies depending on the type of audit; the complexity of the issues; the availability of information requested; the availability of both parties for scheduling meetings; and your agreement or disagreement with the findings. if you’re going through an IRS tax audit in a revenue agent is reviewing your records those audits can take months.

You really need to have a seasoned IRS tax defense veteran represent you any time you’re dealing with an IRS auditor or revenue agent unless you have absolute pristine records.

What are my rights?

Publication 1, Your Rights as a Taxpayer, explains your rights as a taxpayer as well as the examination, appeal, collection, and refund processes.

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.
• A right to appeal disagreements, both within the IRS and before the courts.

How does the IRS conclude an audit?

An audit can be concluded in three ways:

• No change: an audit in which you have substantiated all of the items being reviewed and results in no changes.

• Agreed: an audit where the IRS proposed changes and you understand and agree with the changes.

• Disagreed: an audit where the IRS has proposed changes and you understand but disagree with the changes.

What happens when you agree with the audit findings?

If you agree with the audit findings, you will be asked to sign the examination report or a similar form depending upon the type of audit conducted.

If you owe money, there are several payment options available.

When you call our office we will review the different options available to you in regard to your IRS collection matter. Many people cannot pay the tax adjustment and windup and are currently not collectible or a hardship position while other people’s end up with payment agreements and others file an offer in compromise to settle their tax debt.

Your current financial statement will determine how the Internal Revenue Service foreclosure case and we will review those options if you ever get to that point.

What happens when you disagree with the audit findings?

You can request a conference with an IRS manager. The IRS also offers mediation or you can file an appeal if there is enough time remaining on the statute of limitations.

we can take any case to the IRS the pellet division and in many cases the settlement options are much better than with the regular auditor because they don’t want the cases going to Tax Court.

New Program – The IRS Fresh Start program

The IRS Fresh Start program makes it easier for taxpayers to pay back taxes and avoid tax liens. Even small business taxpayers may benefit from Fresh Start.

Three important features of the IRS Fresh Start program:

 

IRS Tax Liens. 

The Fresh Start program increased the amount that taxpayers can owe before the IRS generally will file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien. That amount is now $10,000.

However, in some cases, the IRS may still file a lien notice on amounts less than $10,000.

When a taxpayer meets certain requirements and pays off their tax debt, the IRS may now withdraw a filed Notice of Federal Tax Lien.

Taxpayers must request this in writing using Form 12277, Application for Withdrawal.

Some taxpayers may qualify to have their lien notice withdrawn if they are paying their tax debt through a Direct Debit installment agreement.

Taxpayers also need to request this in writing by using Form 12277.

If a taxpayer defaults on the Direct Debit Installment Agreement, the IRS may file a new Notice of Federal Tax Lien and resume collection actions.

 

IRS Installment Agreements. 

The Fresh Start program expanded access to streamlined installment agreements. Now, individual taxpayers who owe up to $50,000 can pay through monthly direct debit payments for up to 72 months (six years).

While the IRS generally will not need a financial statement, they may need some financial information from the taxpayer.

Taxpayers in need of installment agreements for tax debts more than $50,000 or longer than six years still need to provide the IRS with a financial statement.

In these cases, the IRS may ask for one of two forms: either Collection Information Statement, Form 433-A or Form 433-F.

 

Offers in Compromise. 

An Offer in Compromise is an agreement that allows taxpayers to settle their tax debt for less than the full amount. Fresh Start expanded and streamlined the OIC program. The IRS now has more flexibility when analyzing a taxpayer’s ability to pay.

This makes the offer program available to a larger group of taxpayers.

IRS will accept an offer if it represents the most the agency can expect to collect within a reasonable period of time.

The IRS will not accept an offer if it believes that the taxpayer can pay the amount owed in full as a lump sum or through a payment agreement. The IRS looks at several factors, including the taxpayer’s income and assets, to make a decision regarding the taxpayer’s ability to pay.
