What happens during an IRS audit
The sequence, and where your choices are.
Expect first contact by post; the IRS does not open an audit by phone or text.
Read the notice number to learn which kind of audit it is.
Gather only the records that support what the return actually claimed.
Decide whether to respond yourself or to appoint someone to act for you.
Send the response by the deadline and expect a wait while it is reviewed.
Understand the three ways it can end before agreeing to anything.
