Understanding the Tax Audit Process

The tax audit process typically involves several stages:

1. Initial Contact: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will send you a notification letter initiating the audit.
2. Document Production: You will need to gather and submit the necessary documents to support your tax return.
3. Audit Examination: An IRS auditor will review your documents and conduct interviews to verify the accuracy of your tax return.
4. Audit Report: The auditor will issue a report outlining their findings and any proposed adjustments.
5. Appeals Process: You have the right to appeal the audit results if you disagree with the auditor's findings.
