When twenty audit cases landed in my IRS inbox on the same morning, I thought the first one would be easy — a simple review of charitable contributions. But the moment I hit “Join Meeting,” everything changed.

Episode 1 pulls you inside my very first real audit: the nerves, the unexpected twists, the missing substantiation, and the moment I realized that numbers never tell the whole story — people do.

You’ll hear how a routine Schedule A deduction turned into a lesson I carried for the rest of my career. And you’ll learn what really raises red flags, how evidence shapes outcomes, and why fairness and empathy don’t always fit neatly inside procedure.

This is the audit that set the tone for everything that came after.

Audit After Hours is a moody, narrative mini-series revealing the human side of IRS audits — real cases, real red flags, and what the IRS actually sees behind the scenes.
