Tax Audit – Things You Need To Know

After you have filed your tax return, the IRS generally will have 3 years to audit or examine your return. If very rare situation, IRS will go back more than 3 years to examine your returns. When your return is selected for examination or audit, IRS will request a list of information to verify your income and/or all or some of the expenses and deductions claimed on your return.

The IRS manages audits either by mail or through an in-person interview to review your records. For field audits, 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). For service audits, the required documents or information should be sent to IRS service center by fax or mail.
