IRS Tax Tip #6 |
Double-check your return
Mistakes will slow down the processing of your return. In particular, make sure all the Social Security Numbers and math calculations are correct as these are the most common errors made by taxpayers. Make sure your tax preparer has current and complete information to file your return accurately - remember it is your responsibility to gather and confirm the information that will be used to file. For individuals and especially small businesses, ECL Consulting, LLC recommends finding a qualified tax preparer who truly cares about providing the best service, is knowledgeable and will locate all available deductions to reduce your tax and increase your refund. We are happy to recommend qualified and dedicated income tax preparers we work with. Please contact us to locate the best professional for your needs. There are many options to consider. So, give yourself time to weigh them all and find the option that best suits your needs. |

Ask an Expert |
Q: How can I avoid having the IRS flag my return for audit?
A: Although tax avoidance planning is legal, tax evasion - the reduction of tax through deceit, subterfuge or concealment - is not. Frequently what sets tax evasion apart from tax avoidance is the IRS's finding that there was some fraudulent intent on the part of the business owner. The following are four of the areas most commonly focused on by IRS examiners as pointing to possible fraud:
- A failure to report substantial amounts of income, such as a shareholder's failure to report dividends, or a store owner's failure to report a portion of the daily business receipts.
- A claim for fictitious or improper deductions on a return, such as a sales representative's substantial overstatement of travel expenses, or a taxpayer's claim of a large deduction for charitable contributions when no verification exists.
- Accounting irregularities, such as a business's failure to keep adequate records, or a discrepancy between amounts reported on a corporation's return and amounts reported on its financial statements.
- Improper allocation of income to a related taxpayer who is in a lower tax bracket, such as where a corporation makes distributions to the controlling shareholder's children.
