A tax audit is a review conducted by tax authorities, such as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States, to ensure that an individual or business has accurately reported their financial information and paid the correct amount of taxes. Audits can be triggered by red flags in a tax return, such as unusual deductions or discrepancies between reported income and information received from third parties. There are different types of audits, including correspondence audits (done through mail) and field audits (conducted in person). While an audit may seem daunting, it’s typically a routine process aimed at verifying compliance with tax laws. Maintaining accurate records and being transparent with tax filings can help mitigate the risk of penalties during an audit.
