In today's economy there are more and more audits being preformed. Just because you were chosen for and audit does not mean you have done anything wrong. Most audits are random. Generally, if you keep / scan your receipts / invoices, maintain mileage logs, have computerized financial statements and general ledgers, and have a professional knowledgeable company representing you, you will not have a problem.
The best thing for you to do if you are notified you have an audit is find the right person or company to represent you. At 1040 + Quality Tax Preparation and Financial Services, Inc we have been providing representation before the IRS and the other government since 1993.
In representation matters, it is our job to help you gather the documents you need to give to the government, communicate with the auditors for you, and help you understand the rules and laws that prevail for your situation. In most cases if your deductions are disallowed, you can generally appeal once or twice, and then to court if necessary.
