An IRS audit usually begins with a letter from the IRS stating ''Your return has been selected for an examination.'' This does not mean you are dishonest and the inquiry does not necessarily mean you will be assessed more tax.
A return is usually selected by one of two methods:
The computer the IRS uses that identifies your returns may have incorrect amounts or information from outside sources that indicates that a return may have incorrect amounts.
An IRS audit can be conducted either by mail or interview:
If by mail, the IRS will send a letter requesting additional information concerning an item or items on your return. An interview is usually much more detailed and can even ask for every line to be substantiated.
If you have been selected to undergo an IRS tax audit it is in your best interest to be represented by a professional.
