No one wants to go through a tax
audit, and fortunately, there are some simple things you can do to reduce
your chances of having to go through this dreaded process.
For starters, make sure you don’t make any errors when you
file your tax return. Yes, that’s easier said than done, but it’s so important
to file correctly. Errors are an easy way to get the IRS super-interested in
your taxes and in what other “mistakes” you might have made. Get all of your
forms together before you file and check and double check to make sure you’ve
listed dependents and exemptions properly.
Also, you’ll definitely want to remember to include all of
the income you received from all of your jobs. Remember, the IRS has copies of
every single 1099 and W-2 with your name on it, so you don’t want to leave
anyone or any income out.
Finally, if you truly want to reduce your chances of an
audit, hire a trustworthy accountant to take care of all your tax matters for
you. There are plenty of good accountants and the right one can make it easy to
avoid an audit.
