IRS TAX AUDITS
When the IRS decides to audit a taxpayer it can be and most often is very stressful, very intimidating, and very overwhelming if the taxpayer does not know the IRS Code and the actual procedures used when they audit one or more tax returns.
There are several types of audits performed by the IRS. Some audits are done strictly by mail where you are required to forward information directly to the IRS. Other IRS audits require that you meet with the IRS face to face to talk about specific matters regarding things you stated on your business or tax return.

TIMEFRAME IRS HAS TO CONDUCT AN IRS TAX AUDIT
Audits by the IRS can be conducted going back through three years or more depending on specific conditions. Taxes assessed including penalties and interest due can be owed at the end of an IRS audit. Because you could owe substantially more money no IRS should ever be taken with an fair-thee-well perspective. If you are being audited or have received notice of a pending IRS audit you should definitely seek the advice of a tax professional.
