I am going to assume you mean "Why is the IRS asking for proof of home improvements?" You must have claimed a deduction for home improvements on a prior tax return. The IRS is asking for verification of the amount of deduction you claimed.
BASICS
why do you think the irs is suspicious of taxpayers claiming home office deductions
You can request a previous year's tax return from the IRS. You will have to provide extensive documentation and proof in order to receive the information. Go to www.irs.gov for more information.
IRS publication 523 is called "Selling Your Home." This publication lays out the tax rules for homeowners when they sell their primary home.
Have a signed power of attorney and contact the IRS.
The IRS can put a lien on your home for past due child support and they will even charge interest.
The IRS will eventually discover their error and will come collecting. The IRS will send out a letter explaining the situation and asking that you pay back the amount of excess refund. If you have already spent the excess, you are still required to pay. Call the IRS immediately to fix the problem. The IRS will collect on the money owed as they would back taxes.
Since office furniture is not a permanent structure, any wiring improvements in the furniture itself would most likely not qualify. It is recommended that you consult with your account or tax attorney for further information concerning IRS guidelines.
You would not be able to get this information online from the IRS. You may be able to find out by contacting your local IRS in person and asking some at the local office if they can assist you with finding out if you owe the IRS any back taxes.
You will receive a letter from the IRS telling you that the W-2 was not attached, and asking you to provide it. The letter should give instructions on where to send it.
Hire a reputable tax lawyer or tax accountant who can work on your behalf without divulging your identity to the IRS. They can meet with IRS representatives and plead your case, determine the course of action that is in your best interest (possibly reducing or avoiding penalties), negotiate a settlement, and the IRS will not know that they are dealing with you. Then your tax consultant can file the negotiated return on your behalf.
Tax deficiency is defined in section 6211(a) of the IRS Code. Tax deficiency occurs when the correct amount of income tax owed is more than the amount shown on the taxpayer's return. This means that the taxpayer still owes tax to the IRS and might be assessed interest and/or penalties. If the taxpayer disagrees with the IRS, the taxpayer should provide the IRS with documented proof to support this.
