What Is an IRS Audit?
An IRS audit is an examination of your tax return to verify that income, deductions, credits, and other items have been reported correctly. Audits can be triggered by:
-
Random selection
-
Mismatched income reporting
-
Unusual deductions
-
IRS algorithms identifying potential errors
-
Self-employment or business filings
-
High-income reporting issues
-
Missing or incomplete tax return information
Audits do not always mean you did something wrong — but professional assistance helps prevent costly missteps.
Types of IRS Audits
There are several levels of IRS audits, each requiring different documentation and response strategies.
​
Correspondence Audit
Conducted by mail. The IRS requests specific documents or clarification on parts of your return.
​
Office Audit
An in-person meeting at an IRS office where more detailed questioning occurs.
​
Field Audit
The most serious type of audit. An IRS agent visits your home, business, or your tax professional’s office for a full review.
​
Taxpayer Compliance Measurement Program (TCMP)
A rare but comprehensive audit where nearly every line of your return is reviewed.
Internal Tax Resolution handles every type of audit, ensuring you never face the IRS alone.
Why IRS Audits Happen
Audits can occur for several reasons, including:
-
Unreported income
-
Large charitable deductions
-
Excessive business expenses
-
Questionable credits
-
Self-employed income inconsistencies
-
Cash-heavy industries
-
Math errors
-
Late or amended filings
-
IRS matching discrepancies (W-2, 1099, etc.)
Understanding the trigger helps create a strategic response.
Consequences of Ignoring an IRS Audit
If you don’t respond to an IRS audit notice, the IRS may:
-
Assess additional taxes
-
Add penalties and interest
-
Disallow deductions or credits
-
File a tax lien
-
Increase your risk of future audits
-
Refer your case to collections
-
In severe cases, escalate to criminal investigation
Proper representation prevents unnecessary penalties and protects your rights.
