Preventing an Audit

A letter from the IRS is always scary, especially around tax season – but don’t fret! We are here to help you through the process. We have seen audits of every type, and we are here to answer all of your questions.

Here are a fix tax tips to pay attention to that can help you make sure your audit is error-free:

  1. Charitable Donations: Make sure you have documentation to prove all donations. If you do not have documentation, avoid claiming this on your return.
  2. Home Office Deductions: After a year of working from home, home office expenses have increased. Home-office expenses are utilized strictly for that purpose. If a room, tv, or computer is used for things other than your job, you may not claim this as a deduction.
  3. Note All Income: As far as the IRS is concerned, all income is created equal. The money noted on your W-2 is just as significant as funds earned through a side-gig. Claim all money earned.
