What occupations are at risk for greater-than-normal IRS scrutiny?
• The IRS is always concerned about segments of the population that cheat on their tax returns. Why spend valuable audit resources on taxpayers who always comply with the regulations when they can collect huge sums of money from taxpayers who almost never comply with the regulations? • Number one on the IRS most-wanted list is anyone who is self-employed in the following occupations: car dealers, bar & restaurant owners, apparel shop owners, hair dressers and nail salon owners, telemarketers, all salespersons, doctors, lawyers, non-degreed ministers, adult entertainers, private detectives, home repair service providers, and practical nurses.
