IRS Audits and Appeals
Definition:
An IRS audit is conducted as an impartial review to determine the accuracy of your tax return. As a taxpayer, you generally have to substantiate the entries on your return. For example, if you gave donations to a charity but do not have a receipt or proof of the donation, you could be in trouble during an IRS audit. If you disagree with the auditor, you can ask for an IRS appeal. If no agreement is reached with an appeals officer, your case may be taken over to the U.S. Tax Court, U.S. Claims Court or U.S. District Court.
