IRS audit rates are rising dramatically for all types of taxpayers. Within the past few years, the IRS audit rate for individual taxpayers has risen more than 25%, and the audit rate for high-income taxpayers has doubled. Additionally, the IRS is currently in the process of randomly selecting and dissecting more than five-thousand (5,000) corporate form 1120 S tax returns (S corporations), seeking information that will help tighten its grip on small business taxpayers in the years to come.  


IRS audits are generally one of three kinds:

  • Office Audits
  • Correspondence Audits
  • Field Audits

Audit Representation Process

Typically, the audit process begins when you receive a letter stating your tax return has been selected for an examination. This does not mean that the IRS is accusing you of lying, cheating on your tax return, or engaging in any other wrong-doing. However, the goal of the IRS audit process is to increase the tax compliance and revenue collected by the government. The moment you receive notice of an examination is the right moment to seek legal counsel.
