I don’t think there is anything more dreaded than an IRS audit. As soon as you get the news of the impending audit, you feel sick to your stomach, you break out into a cold sweat, you start having sleepless nights and anxious days. You wonder what you could have done wrong to make the IRS want to audit you. Most IRS audits are not just a random event. The IRS looks for certain items that make you a candidate for an IRS audit.
