Learn About the Four Types of IRS Audit You Might Encounter
Correspondence Audit
This is the simplest and most common type of audit, making up about 75% of all IRS audits. The IRS sends a letter requesting more information about specific parts of your tax return, such as deductions or income discrepancies. Responding promptly with the requested documentation is crucial to resolving the issue quickly.
Office Audit
In an office audit, the IRS asks you to visit their office to answer questions and provide documents. These audits often focus on specific areas like itemized deductions, business profits/losses, or rental income/expenses. It’s important to prepare thoroughly and consider seeking professional advice to ensure all documentation is accurate and complete.
Field Audit
This is the most detailed and intrusive type of audit. An IRS agent visits your home or business to review your records. Field audits are comprehensive and can take several days. Given their complexity, it’s highly recommended to have a tax professional, like Nordlander CPA, present to manage the process and communicate with the IRS on your behalf.
TCMP Audit
A Taxpayer Compliance Measurement Program (TCMP) audit is an in-depth review of every item on your tax return. The IRS uses these audits to update its data and improve audit selection processes. This audit requires extensive documentation for all entries on your return. Being well-organized and prepared is essential to handling this exhaustive review.
Documents the IRS May Request During an Audit
When facing an IRS audit, be prepared to provide the following documents to support the income, credits, or deductions claimed on your tax return:
- Receipts: Organize by date and include notes on their business relevance.
- Bills: Include recipient details, service type, and payment dates.
- Canceled Checks: Attach these with copies of the related bills.
- Legal Papers: Provide documents related to divorce settlements, property acquisitions, and legal cases.
- Loan Agreements: Include the original loan document and end-of-year interest statements.
- Logs or Diaries: Detail travel dates, business purposes, and mileage.
- Tickets: Label travel tickets for business purposes and group them with related receipts.
- Medical and Dental Records: Include savings account statements, physician statements, and capital improvement records.
- Theft or Loss Documents: Provide insurance reports, police reports, and photos or videos of the damage.
