Being audited can be scary. So before you prepare your return, keep in mind that certain red flags can increase your chances of being audited. 

Keep Reading…

Audit Trigger #1 :Underreporting Income
The IRS receives copies of your W-2s and 1099s, so if you don’t report all your 1099 and W-2 earnings, the IRS just might notice leading to an audit.

Audit Trigger #2️⃣ Excessive Deductions
While deductions do lower your taxable income, claiming unusually high amounts compared to your income can raise eyebrows.

📌 Example: A person earning $50,000 writes off $20,000 in business meals and travel. Really? 40% of your income spent on food and trips? 40%?! 🚩

3️⃣ Large Charitable Donations
When we bring our gently used goods to the Salvation Army and the Goodwill, KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS! Also, if you pay tithes at church, keep a record or request a Donation Reciept. Generosity is great, but if your charitable donations aren’t documented and seem unrealistic based on your income...you guessed it 🚩 

How to Remain Audit-Proof:

✔️ Report all your income
✔️ Keep detailed records of deductions (your expenses)
✔️ Keep the receipts for every donation
✔️ Be reasonable with write-offs

💡 Did you know? 💡

Payments received through apps like CashApp, Square, Zelle, Venmo, and PayPal are considered taxable income if they’re for goods or services.

The IRS even requires third-party payment platforms like Apple Pay, Venmo and PayPal to issue a Form 1099-K if you receive $5,000 or more annually in payments! 🚨

Tips to Avoid IRS Red Flags:

1️⃣ Keep Detailed Records
📋 Save transaction histories, screenshots, and invoices from these platforms to verify your income.

2️⃣ Separate Personal and Business Transactions
💼 Use separate accounts for personal and business payments to avoid confusion during tax filing.
