Tax audits can be stressful but are a routine part of tax compliance from "summary" of Income Tax Fundamentals 2021 by Gerald E. Whittenburg,Martha Altus-Buller,Steven Gill

Tax audits are a common occurrence that many taxpayers fear due to the potential stress they can bring. However, it is important to understand that audits are simply a routine part of tax compliance. They are conducted by the IRS to ensure that taxpayers are accurately reporting their income and claiming only the deductions and credits to which they are entitled. During a tax audit, the IRS will review your tax return in detail, examining your income, deductions, credits, and any other relevant information. This process can be time-consuming and nerve-wracking, as you may be required to provide additional documentation to support the information on your return. It is crucial to approach a tax audit with honesty and transparency. Being forthcoming with the IRS and providing any requested documentation in a timely manner can help expedite the audit process and potentially reduce any penalties or interest that may be assessed. While tax audits can be stressful, it is essential to remember that they are a normal part of the tax system. By maintaining accurate records, reporting your income correctly, and staying informed about tax laws and regulations, you can help minimize the likelihood of being audited in the future.
