Preparing Business Tax Returns That Avoid IRS Scrutiny and Audit Red Flags
The recently passed Inflation Reduction Act provides an additional $80 billion in funding for the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) over the next decade, expected to translate to a big surge in IRS agent hiring and a significant increase in tax return auditing.
While more auditing is good for the government, since it generates more tax revenue, it’s not so good for the business community. It means the quality of your returns needs to be much higher to reduce the risk that you’ll face a time-consuming, costly audit.
This guide is designed to help you understand the factors driving the increased audit risk for business owners, how to ensure your business tax return is prepared properly, how to avoid the red flags most likely to trigger a tax audit, and how to choose a tax professional that can go beyond tax preparation and provide proactive, strategic guidance year-round.
