One of my businesses was audited several months ago. An IRS agent that I have dealt with in the past called and informed me that my business had been pulled for a field audit. I asked him if he knew the type of business I am in, and proceeded to tell him what pathetic timing he had.
After a couple of meetings, I finally told the agent we could not continue a biweekly series of meetings. We showed him everything, and he finally suggested that we leave the subject return as originally filed.
I understand how stressful an IRS audit can be. I thought our audit was somewhat comical, but my wife was a nervous wreck. The most important thing when dealing with auditors is your documentation. It is of utmost importance to keep all receipts, records, and logs.
