The percent of audits of personal income tax returns is extremely low. There are signs, or "red flags" that the IRS does looks for, however, in selecting an individual to audit and we want you to know some of those key areas.

Red Flag Tax Audit Situations

Although this is not an exhaustive list, following are some of the signs the IRS will look for when deciding to audit an individual:

Making deductions which are disproportionate to your level of income
Claiming deductions which cannot be substantiated
Failing to report all taxable income (a type of tax crime)
Making math mistakes which can invite IRS inquiries
Failure to report an offshore or foreign bank account which can lead to investigation and criminal charges
Taking significant auto use, travel, entertainment or meal deductions
Having a large rise in the amount of money that you make from one year to the next can cause the IRS to give you unwanted attention
The IRS knows that some people have taken advantage of deductions taken for large donations to charity and these can also bring about scrutiny into your return
Another abused area of deductions is when individuals do not meet the requirements for or claim incorrectly high home office deductions
As the possibility exists of not reporting all taxable income to the IRS, cash businesses are more likely to be audited if proper accounting and tax returns are not done
