IRS Tax or State Sales Tax Audits
Both government agencies can audit your tax return for a variety of reasons. As a general rule, the computer has selected your tax return for a tax audit.
The DIF Score, the main reason for tax audits.
Each tax return is issued a DIF Score (Discriminatory Index Function). According to the IRS and Former IRS agents who worked in the tax audit section, a DIF Score “is a mathematical technique used to score income tax returns for examination potential.
This technique establishes the National Average Guidelines.
If if your DIF score for your tax return is above the national average, then the risk of an audit escalates. The highest scoring tax returns are then forwarded to an IRS Examiner/ Agent for further review. All returns are manually screened.
So what triggers a high DIF Score?
Falling out of the National Average Guidelines in the areas of Charitable Contributions, Casualty Losses, Home Office, and Travel & Entertainment, excessive deductions and taking to many unauthorized tax credits will affect the tax return’s DIF Score.
How DIF Actually Works
To arrive at the DIF score for each tax return, the IRS computer identifies returns by assigning weights, algorithms and certain basic tax return characteristics.
These weights are added together to obtain a systemic composite score for all tax returns. That score is used to rank all returns into numerical sequence.
The highest scores are then manually reviewed by IRS Agents at the Service Centers to determine the merit and worthiness of a Tax Audit.
One Caution
You want to avoid IRS picking up multiple years during your tax audit. There are ways to prevent this action.

A IRS tax levy is a legal seizure or garnishment of your property to satisfy a IRS tax debt. Levies are different from liens.
A federal tax lien is a claim used as security for the tax debt, while a tax levy actually takes or seizes the property to satisfy the IRS tax debt.
If you do not pay your taxes or make arrangements to settle your debt the IRS may seize or garnish and sell any type of real or personal property that you own or have an interest in.
IRS has the ability to :
The IRS could seize and sell property that you hold such as your car, boat, or house, or
IRS could levy property that is yours but is held by someone else such as your wages, retirement accounts, dividends, bank accounts, licenses, rental income, accounts receivables, the cash loan value of your life insurance, or commissions.
IRS can seize or take almost everything.
Levy Requirements
IRS can levy only after these three requirements are met:
1. IRS must assess the tax and sent you a Notice and Demand for Payment,
2. You neglected or refused to pay the tax and,
3. IRS sent you a Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to A Hearing levy notice at least 30 days before the levy.
How the levy must be served.
IRS may give you this notice in person, leave it at your home or your usual place of business, or send it to your last known address by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
Please Note:
If IRS levies your state tax refund, you may receive a Notice of Levy on Your State Tax Refund, Notice of Your Right to Hearing after the levy.
Hire trust and integrity.

Last year the IRS settled 27% of the cases. The average settlement was 14 cents on a dollar.
80% of those cases accepted for settlement were sent in by professional tax resolution companies.
It is important to know the IRS made significant changes to there Debt Settlement Program called the Offer in Compromise through the new Fresh Start Program.
Today because of this change many more taxpayers will be eligible for Offers.An Offer is not for ever taxpayer. If the value of your assets exceed the amount you owe, you are not eligible for an Offer in Compromise.

- Periodic Payment: Submit your initial payment with your application. Continue to pay the remaining balance in monthly installments while the IRS considers your offer. If accepted, continue to pay monthly until it is paid in full.
If you meet the Low Income Certification guidelines, you do not have to send the application fee or the initial payment and you will not need to make monthly installments during the evaluation of your offer.
