I got a letter in the mail saying you have been selected and to call and make an appointment for your audit. It is stressful as you know they are going to go thru all of your stuff with a fine tooth comb
I have my tax preparer going with me so he will handle the whole thing while I sit and be quite
They gave about 6 weeks to prepare for it so that was good, but you have to call within 10 days from the letter to schedule it. From what my tax guy says is that its going to be more common for small business to be put thru this in the future. The irs told me to expect to be there for 4 hours while they do it and then they will notify me within 30 days to let me know if I have to pay anything or not. from what I understand it is really at their discretion what they do and dont except of your writeoffs. Then after they notify you, you have a right to appeal any fines they may give you. I will just be glad when its over
but it has really opened my eyes to my organization hehe.
