You mean documents to support how you filed I should think. You basically become at the mercy of the examiner (don't expect to receive much - and he may well soncider you a bad guy/cheat). Anything not supported will be denied...he'll probably start looking at and for more and more - like hidden income, and penalties and interest - likely again at the highest amount possible, will be included in the assessment. It can then get worse...he very likely could feel it was intentional and an act to defraud...which means criminal charges are possible...and yet additional costs at the very least.
Perhaps you mean audited as in being audited by the IRS
The IRS does release names of people that they have audited. So there is no information if Sharon Denise Smallwood was audited this year.
this was from a previous years filing, they audited and it had to be paid back
No. The IRS can only offset your refund if they have already made an assessment against you.
if the IRS finds out that a person does claim income, the IRS can audit the person. If audited, the person will have to go in person to their local IRS agency and explain the situation.
Audited
Yes, the IRS can audit you at any time within 5 years after filing.
you get audited by irs, face penalties and possible jail term for tax evasion.
The IRS provides a wealth of information on their website. This includes links to various IRS Forms. There are well over 500 forms.
If you're talking about an IRS audit, it could be because you did something that set off a red flag (for example: people with an AGI of $40000 normally do not have $25000 in charitable contributions, and it might prompt a certain degree of interest). Also, the IRS selects a certain number of returns to be audited at random.
IRS tax forms can be found on the IRS website. The Post Office is another source for the forms. Usually they can also be obtained at Social Security Offices.
what is the difference between the IRS 1040 and the IRS 1040EZ forms?
