What is a Tax Audit?
Regardless the type of audit that the IRS sends for their respective purposes, every taxpayer is subject to receive a notification by person, or mail. Generally, the IRS requests further information to understand your tax return in more detail. For example, if a taxpayer claims $50,000 in donations to a charity of their choice, thus, the IRS may require some proof of their donation. By submitting sufficient documentations, the audit will most likely conclude in the taxpayer’s favor — which tax professionals provide essential aide.
Types of IRS Audits
Mail Audit
A mail audit is one of the simpler and more common forms of IRS tax investigations. It is merely a written warning of an IRS audit dispute requesting specifically which documents a taxpayer needs to send to the IRS.
Field audits
A field audit the type of IRS examination where an IRS agent will visit the taxpayer’s home or place of business. Usually, field audits are performed in case of an IRS questioning of more than just a singular deduction. In most cases, a field audit is more thorough than an office audit, or an in-mail notification.
Office audits
An office audit is a personal audit performed at the local IRS office. For example, if the taxpayer’s residents is located Highland Park, Los Angeles the nearest IRS office is located in the City of Los Angeles.
These audits are much more in-depth than mail audits. Typically, the questions they ask are related to the information on the taxpayer’s income tax return. As usual, the IRS will ask for supplemental documents; such like the official records for the respective business or related bank statements. IRS Audit Group highly recommends taxpayers to exercise their right to a tax attorney to represent the case. This alleviates and avoids any potential mistakes that may increase penalties and interest rates regarding the situation.
What is the difference between a State Audit, and a Federal Tax Audit?
A state audit is when state services approach you in person, or in written form about your tax return at the state level. A federal tax audit is when there are unclear information or statistics in your tax return to the federal government. Either governmental organization may legally question your income tax return at any given point. The purpose of their notice can vary, however, both circumstances pose serious threat if ignored. At the event of ignoring these notices, we highly recommend consulting with a tax professional to understand the ramifications of this incident. Such as, additional penalties and interest.
