There are multiple reasons why an individual may be selected for an IRS tax audit. It is important to know that even if you receive an audit letter, it does not necessarily mean that there are complicated tax issues that need to be resolved. That being said, there can be instances in which you may be at fault. A large number of taxpayers are randomly selected for an audit, though there are some factors that can increase the likelihood of being audited.
Navigating United States tax law can be overwhelming and unclear for the average taxpayer. That's why, hiring a tax attorney if you are facing an auditing situation from the IRS, can help you resolve your IRS audits without the stress. The Taxpayer Bill of Rights states it is an individual’s right to hire representation when receiving an audit, and although not all auditing situations require the support of a tax expert, it can be helpful to ensure you are responding to the audit completely and accurately.
