not sure why everyone gets freaked out about audits. if you filed your taxes properly and keep proper documentation (shouldn’t be a problem since everything is electronic nowadays) it should be a piece of cake. people who work for the IRS aren’t exactly the rocket scientists of the accounting field.
“i think if you get audited you get a much scarier email”
This is true.
I was audited by the IRS a few years ago.
They send you a thick packet which includes what they want to see.
It’s written like a legal document and goes on and on about wanting to see specific documentation and supporting evidence and schedules and copies of other tax years and your rights to a lawyer and if you should bring your accountant.
They take advantage of being the world’s worst bureaucracy, they try to indimidate you with that.
Another reason I don’t like big government.
HA RF, your adopted, right? maybe they are just verifying that i do indeed have no children? seems silly thing for them to get all butthurt over, it’s only like a 60 dollar deduction!!
