If you've been chosen for an audit, the burden is unfortunately on you to answer the IRS' questions and to prove anything you claimed. They will be sniffing around aggressively for any unreported or under-reported income, along with over-stated deductions, as that is their job. Excuses of losing paperwork or being unaware will not work. Make sure you're on the ball!
*This is a series of 7 red flags to avoid, to help you not invite an audit. Hopefully you can escape this stress... Here is #6:
*CLAIMING 100 PERCENT BUSINESS USE OF A VEHICLE:
*If the vehicle is not designated for business use and there is no separate vehicle available for personal use, the business owner needs to maintain detailed mileage logs and calendar entries for the purposes of each trip.
To avoid an audit: Beware of warnings, follow procedure, keep good records, hire a CPA, and don't ever ignore tax notices. If you do get audited, be very cooperative and maintain a good attitude with them, and your CPA should be able to handle any IRS Representation for you.
