Understanding an IRS Tax Audit

An IRS audit is a review of an individual's or an organization's accounts and financial information to ensure that the information is being reported accurately, and to verify that the amount reported is accurate. Contrary to popular belief, being audited doesn't necessarily mean that the taxpayer made an error.

Under the law, you are expected to retain any records used to prepare your return; the IRS recommends keeping those records for three years from the date the return was filed.

The length of an audit depends on a number of factors such as the complexity of the items being reviewed, the availability of information requested, and your agreement or disagreement with the findings. If you ultimately agree with the findings, you will be asked to sign a report, but if you disagree with the audit findings, an appeal request may be filed.

How Long Does A Tax Audit Take?

Did you receive an audit notice from the Internal Revenue Servics (IRS)? If so you are probably wondering how long this process will take. The IRS has up to 3 years to audit you. The time frame changes depending on the type of audit, difficulty of the issues, both parties schedules and your approval/disapproval of the findings, but most are completed within a year.
