Less than 2% of over 145 million individual tax returns filed will be selected for audit. The IRS may increase this percent as they have hired 2500 new auditors. The percentage increases for higher income groups and tax returns in areas of specific interest to the IRS. If you should receive notice from the IRS of an impending audit, please remember:

• IRS computers usually flag the tax returns for audits. The vast majority of them are routine.
• Because of the flagging process, your audit will usually focus on one to three categories of your tax return.
• Audits do not automatically mean something is wrong. It is possible to receive a “no change” or even an additional refund as an outcome of an audit. For more information about IRS Representation please visit www.yourirsproblemsolvers.com.
