State and IRS Audits
State and IRS audits are intended to be used by the government to verify that taxpayers have correctly reported their tax obligations. Taxpayers should recognize that the IRS and state tax autorities view the IRS and state audit process as a means of gathering harmful information to be used against the taxpayer.
IRS and state audit employees are trained to uncover additional unreported income and to gather enough information to disprove positions taken by the taxpayer. While it may appear that the state or IRS auditor is interested in one issue, they may in fact be soliciting evidence on a completely separate issue.
In many cases the state and IRS uses the audit process as a "fishing expedition" to determine if they can pin something on innocent taxpayers.
An experienced tax attorney can help you make sure that you do not disclose harmful information to the government and the tax attorney can help you determine exactly what the governments aims are.
