Facts about Tax Office Auditors

The IRS (Internal Revenue Service) conducts audits for a wide variety of reasons. Audits are performed when someone forgets to sign a tax return, or when the government suspects fraud. Tax auditors are employees of the IRS who conduct the audits and inspect your return. It's important that you are informed of your rights so that you don't give tax auditors the upper hand. If you are being audited a taxation attorney can help protect you during this difficult process.

Your best bet is to have a taxation attorney represent with you throughout this tough process. There are typically three types of audits in which the IRS and its tax auditors have at their disposal.

  1. Correspondence audits are for minor mistakes like forgetting to sign your return.
  2. Office audits require you to go to an IRS office at a specific date with your information.
  3. A field audit means the auditor comes to your home or business. The IRS usually uses the field audit for complicated business returns.

Before meeting with any tax office auditor, be sure to read the IRS's letter completely. This will tell you what documents you will need. Organize all your documents and receipts. Remember, it's safer to hire an experienced audit attorney to help you during this process. An attorney will know how to answer, and when not to answer the tax office auditor's questions.

If you do not want to accept the tax office auditor's report, you can always file an appeal. A lawyer can help you file a protest letter while handling the meetings with the appeals officer. As a last line of defense, you may also choose to file a petition in the United States Tax Court.

The benefits of appeals:

  • Appeals are often successful in reducing liability
  • Collection of your tax bill is delayed
  • The Appeals Office wants to settle to keep you out of Tax Court

The average annual income in 1913 was $800.

Back in 1913 tax rates ranged from one to seven percent on incomes above $3,000. This tax rate doesn't sound like much until you consider the average annual income for the time.
