Whats the difference between Audit Ready vs. Audit Avoidance?
Many tax preparers tell you not to claim some of the tax deductions that you are legally entitled to. This is to help you avoid an audit, or so they said. We find that tax professionals who prepare tax returns by filling in the blanks dont have clear understanding of the tax law. Therefore, it is safer (for them?) to let you pay more with the hope that you wont be audited. Unfortunately, since these form-fillers dont fully understand the tax law, they create other, much larger red-flags that literally begs the IRS to audit you. We recommend that you be Audit Ready where you claim all that youre entitled to, but have full and proper documentation for everything that you claim. In fact, we have on several occasions REQUESTED for an IRS audit in order to expedite a refund for our clients because our clients were Ready for An Audit! Top 26.
