How to Avoid an IRS Audit - Yahoo! Finance - 0 views

  • Tax season is upon us, with most Americans putting together the materials they need to file their returns, gathering receipts, and searching for other tax deductions to maximize the amount they get back from the federal government.
  • If the IRS begins to suspect that a tax return isn't entirely truthful, the filer might be in for an audit.

"In the absence of good records, the deductions are disallowed when audited."
  • According to Rozbruch, the best track to take when an audit begins is to attempt to make things right immediately.
  • Reed adds that if the taxpayer is not maliciously trying to cheat the government, the IRS can be lenient.
