Don't let the IRS audit monster get you down! |
After all, the IRS in the U.S. has increased the number of IRS audits by a whopping and terrifying 37% since 2001. That is a gigantic increase! Hold on, no need to stop reading and start rushing to file all your paperwork all professionally just yet. There are some silver linings here that may be good news to you. While the IRS audits have grown vastly since 2001, most people getting them and experiencing real IRS trouble are people who have abusive tax shelters and corporations. The other thing that an IRS audit looks for in its prey is people who are high income taxpayers – typically making over a $100,000 a year.
That does not mean an IRS audit cannot come flinging at your place of business though. As with any good monster, there are hexes you can use and wards you can manifest to keep it at bay. In other words, you can do certain things and make your business more efficient to help avoid any IRS trouble in the first place. One of the best things you can do is making sure all your records and filings are correct and properly organized.
