While a backlog and "brain drain" at the IRS might lead some to believe they can fly under the radar, the agency is increasingly relying on sophisticated data matching and computer software to flag inconsistencies in tax reporting. This episode of Kaizen Time explores the major audit triggers facing every small business, from mismatches in K-1 and W-2 forms to the growing scrutiny surrounding cryptocurrency transactions. We discuss why high-risk deductions like home office use, vehicle expenses, and out-of-proportion charitable contributions are frequently caught by automated systems, even years after a return is filed. Gain essential financial advice on avoiding common pitfalls such as the "creep" of personal expenses into business filings and learn how professional accounting services can help you maintain the proper documentation needed to survive an automated review.
