Audits and Tax Authority Reviews

Understanding Tax Examinations

A tax authority may review a filed return to verify that reported information is accurate. During an audit or examination, taxpayers may be asked to provide documentation supporting reported income, deductions, credits, and other tax items.

• Provide requested records.
• Respond within required timeframes.
• Maintain organized documentation.
• Correct any identified errors if necessary.

Accurate records are your strongest defense during a tax examination.
