How to prepare for a tax audit - (1) The day you receive the audit notice - STOP changing clothes - DO NOT shower or bath. (2) Collect all receipts and documents - wad them into neat tight balls of paper - file them neatly in a kitty litter box with the litter in the box. (3) The night before the audit - eat - baked beans, lima beans, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, asparagus, Limberger cheese, sardines, 90% Dark Chocolate, and drink beer. (4) Once you arrive at the IRS office - take a laxative (don't excuse yourself during the audit, just soil yourself during the audit). (5) If you have one - bring your emotional handicap assistant dog and give the dog a laxative. (6) Once inside the office build be as accidentally clumsy as possible and accidentally knock over plants and shelves, etc. (7) Once seated in the auditor's office - relax and stretch your legs and if possible accidentally kick the plug to their computer from the wall receptacle. (8) Be sure and politely use your free speech and ask friendly questions like for example, "Before your mother died from licking food stamps, did she know you had become a tax whore?" That should do it - most likely - you'll never be audited ever again.

​@@clearvaluetax9382 My Business is TIMBER Logging on my timbertract, also selling premium lots, on portions of tract, and Gravel Road sales. Investigating IRS interviewer has suspended my recent deductions saying no revenue in last 3-5 years, however, revenue was generated in timber harvest 2007. Timber tree growth does not harvest until fulling mature, but I still have to maintain (expensive equipment) reforestation, maintenance,,,,etc. All expenses are real and well documented. Hard to get past the interviewer 915 letter but fighting as best we can. Love your excellent tax tips and strategies.

I was audited back in 86 by a G12 in person at their office. They even went after my bank management. They said I owed $113,000! They wound up getting $2,000. They get a commission on the amount they generate in audits. They gave up on me when they figured it was not worth it. I simply put stuff in other peoples name and continued on. I do not believe in the Federal Income Tax. I am one of those people who do not think our founding fathers ever intended for the government to take money from hard working people and give it to those who don't! Plus increase the amount if you work harder and smarter. I do not feel guilty at all if I out smarted them. And by the way all the money I spent I spent at shops, stores, cars. I supported people who work. Not a government who thinks it is a social program.

After watching your review I have a HUGE confidence LEVEL with you just based on your professionalism and knowledge is there a way to set-up a consultation with you direclty?

I am an independent contractor in Oregon and I am being audited for state income. There are a lot of different reasons in their letter, but the biggest cause for concern is that my payroll company did not file my laborers 1099s and now Oregon state is trying to put those monies on me. Can I do anything about this? Thank you so much for all your help!

Please if you're looking back can you enlighten me on if we're receiving any information for Audits during the lockdown? I did my taxes on March 11th and have been seeing the same processing information ever since then. Today is 4/25/2020. I claimed the EITC and that's all. What could they possibly ask of me if they do decide to send a letter. Seeing that it has been over a month already, I still am unable to get my stimulus because of this.

I got a mail audit and i sent everything back in febuary but still havent recieved a respond how long does it usually take

After doing my taxes at the end of the month of January 3 weeks later I get a letter that I'm getting audited and to contact them if it takes longer then 60 days to get answer from them but the letter said not to do nothing until after 60 days but then they closed the audit offices?? I'm still waiting I've been checking my irs app and it's been saying still processing with topic 152 I understand that topic is related to direct deposit? What do yu recommend

Do you have any tips when you send in the information that they requested, but then they say they won’t accept it? Like mileage logs or meals?

I got paid in cash and didn’t deposit the money in the bank. Can I make my quarterly payment with a cashiers check? Or will that trigger an audit?

My H&H tax person told me I didn’t have to pay taxes due to my income. I have four types of income: pension, SS for my self and my wife, and VA disability. My pension is about $15,000 and I was paying state taxes until this year when a law was passed. Should I contact H& R to make sure?

I just went through this for 2018 tax return. Best advice i can give is repsond on time. Photo copy everything you send back to them. And patience is a must. They are very slow. We didn't get our direct deposit once we settled until December 23rd 2019. Almost whole year. Patience patience and even more patience.

They said I couldn't prove my oldest daughter is mine yet it cleared for 2016. I've been paying the IRS for the past two years. My bill went from $12,000 now to about 8,000.

@@marcphillips3948 Just a guess, but if your audit risk is a couple of percent, then divide that fee by your audit risk percentage to get the estimated fee you would expect that your tax planner would charge you in an audit. For example if you think your audit risk is 2% then divide $100 by 2% and the expected fee for your tax person to represent you would be $5,000. If you think that it would cost you more than $5,000 for your planner to do your audit, then maybe it's a reasonable deal. But if you never get audited in 20 years you have given your tax planner an additional $2,000 for free.

@@marcphillips3948 Do the math. Let's say there is a 1% chance you get audited and need his help representing you. The upfront fee is $100. If you calculate the expected value of that representation, you take $100 divided by 1% = $10,000. It is an awful deal because if you do get audited then it will probably cost you a lot less than ten grand to get represented. So the "insurance" is not worth it. If you get audited, just hire someone for the going rate.

What about the method of bookkeeping... IRS publication specifically states that both, a log or ledger can be submitted to prove net income, but also states that there’s no specific requirement.

Even third party proof of income (like eBay sales statements and proof of referral commissions direct from back office portals are being picked and prodded and asked for more detailed info)... and to my knowledge there is no law that requires a person to utilize a bank account for record keeping, so super frustrating- I almost want to just say “let’s go to court”.
