IRS audit can be challenging and stressful for an individual with no tax knowledge. It is recommended to seek the help of tax professionals who have dealt with IRS audits and are aware of audit procedures and tax laws in order to maximize the audit results in the taxpayer's favor.
The IRS generally can audit you for up to three years after you file your tax return. At times, the IRS may audit for six years or longer if more than 25% of income is omitted from the tax return. The IRS legally requires taxpayers to keep all records used to prepare tax returns for at least three years from the date you file your tax return. However, it is recommended that records be kept for up to six years.
Many factors can lead to an IRS audit such as math errors, underreported income, earned income credit, etc. During the audit, the IRS will notify the taxpayer first by mail if the taxpayer has been randomly selected for an audit. The letter will have the contact information and detailed instructions on how to respond to the audit. In the initial letter, the IRS will request specific documents in order to proceed with the audit. The IRS audit can also be conducted in person if the taxpayer doesn't respond to the document request by mail. The audit can take anywhere from six months to a year or more depending on the nature of the audit and the circumstances surrounding the audit
