It's every taxpayer's WORST nightmare: you go outside to check your mail and you've got an IRS audit notice waiting for you! ๐ฑ
Keep calm and keep reading to see what happens next:
First, you'll want to confirm that you've received a legitimate audit notice from the IRS. ๐ญ
The IRS will send you a letter via certified mail stating your full name, tax ID number or SSN, the form number, and specific information about why your return is being examined.
๐ซ The IRS will NEVER initiate an audit via telephone.
As soon as youโve received a notice of an IRS audit, you should inform your accountant. The timeliness of your response is important, and you want to make sure you have all the documents requested to back up your position. ๐ฒ
