How to Avoid an IRS Audit (how to fly under the radar)

In this video, we discuss what are the chances of being audited by the IRS for taxes and what audit triggers and audit flags increase your risk of being selected for audit. We get asked the question of what are the chances of getting audited and we respond with statistics. Statistics show that you have a higher chance or probability of an IRS audit if you are a higher income earner. We give the facts and statistics by the income ranges and the historical probabilities of receiving an IRS letter. You will see that the chances of getting audited are low, however, there are audit flags and audit triggers that can substantially elevate your audit risk. Beware of these audit triggers that will increase your risk of audit. We hope you enjoy this video about your odds of being audited by the IRS and knowing your tax audit risk.

    @Billy Ray Valentine we get taxed on the money we earned. Then we get taxed on the money that we spend on necessities. Double taxation at best. I dont really consider it theft as we do use the money to pay people to maintain our parks, public resources such as police and firefighters, National security etc. I learned this when i have visited third world countries. I get upset when people abuse for example the welfare system.

    Lucky me, I got audited about 15 years ago. My income was about around $95-110k, self employed small office, one employee besides myself. Income generated by the business was about $225-250k. I am in a business with known for very high overhead. This IRS agent hounded me for a YEAR. The only thing they got me on was some credit card purchases that I didn't have receipts for or couldn't prove so they included that as personal income. Once they started looking at one return, they went to the previous one to compare things so they really audited 2 years. My life was hell. The government paid this agent to keep coming after me for an entire year. I can't make this crap up. Six months after this IRS agent dragged me through the mud, he died of an stroke. Karma.

    That can easily happen if you one of those people who have a business but rather than keeping track of every complete expense just put conservative amounts on the schedule C knowing full well you could claim more but dont want to put the work in. Once audited, you take the time to find every single thing you could claim and it will cost them more than they would ever get back.

    I was selected for a ‘random’ audit back in the early 80’s. I was in sales and my income was mid-high 20’s at the time. I itemized my return. A small math error was found in favor of the IRS, less than $20.00, which they waived. The examiner asked if I had the same kind of detailed records for the 2 tax years prior and set me up for another audit of those years, which was performed by the same examiner. The end result was no change to my tax obligation but what a waste of time, for them and for me.

    If audited, give power of attorney to an accountant and send him or her. That way if the IRS asks a tough question, your stand-in can say he or she will have to ask you about it.

    Sure does. 0% capital gains tax and 50% savers credit FTW. Using those two wonderful gifts I make about $55k a year and pay $0 tax. If I never get a raise and tax law doesn't change for 40 years I won't ever pay a dollar in tax. Not even on my Roth conversions when I retire. Tax code is very generous to low/middle income. The trick is finding a place where you can live cheaply enough to save 50% of your income and actually take advantage of it. Bit of a catch 22, but if you can make it work it's quite the benefit.

    My parents got audited (they r the most honest rule followers of all time!) My Dad worked as a nurse and my mom stayed home. We had lots of chickens, so my Dad went to work with eggs and would sell them for a $1.50...my mom reported this on their taxes. The second year they did this and just guessed that they probably sold the same amount as they did the year before, this apparently got them red flagged and audited. They got fined it was super stressful and a long process and that was the year the IRS stole our Disneyland trip, over a couple dozen 🥚

Once I had a lawyer and showed I owed them ZERO. They kept the money they garnished and told me they didn’t have to remove the tax lien on my vehicle. I’ve been audited every single year since.

The only other thing they would have done is look at your financial history to try and find other unclaimed income. A lot of people at that age get paid under the table and an audit can easily find it when your bank statements dont match you income. Its why I tell people, if you make any money under the table, keep it in cash and simply spend it on non necessity things. the reason for non necessity being so the IRS c ant ask the question, how did you pay your mortgage or where are you monthly grocery bills.

    23 year old here. I got audited and had to pay back ~$200 for something to do with my student loans years back when I had my dad doing my taxes. I definitely don't make 500k+
