Worried about an IRS audit? Here are five smart ways to reduce your chances of getting flagged and keep your tax return in the clear.
Worried about an IRS audit? Here are five smart ways to reduce your chances of getting flagged and keep your tax return in the clear.
Claim only deductions you’re eligible for, and don’t inflate numbers. Unusually high deductions can trigger an audit.
Report all sources of income, including side gigs or freelance work. The IRS gets copies of your 1099s, so missing income could lead to an audit.
While generous donations are great, claiming unusually large charitable deductions compared to your income could attract IRS attention.
E-filing reduces errors, and keeping detailed records ensures you have backup for every claim in case of an audit.
