How A Business Tax Return Audit Is Selected
I’ve read that a business tax return audit are selected manually by IRS and then sent to the local office. I’m not sure how they pick the smaller business returns. I’m sure there is some computer analysis in the process. Larger dollar businesses that have millions of dollars worth of assets are selected based on the total assets they have. Either way, it really doesn’t matter. Once you are selected, you must go through the process.
How To Avoid A Business Audit By Audit Proofing Your Return

- Make sure all schedules total correctly, and all totals carry over correctly to the right schedules.
- Anything that stands out on the return should have an attached schedule explaining the item.
