Will A High Income Cause An Audit?

A new focus from the IRS is on those with high income, which will impact many individuals across the United States. Higher-income individuals are able to have greater flexibility with their disposable income, often leading to more complex financial records. Those records are now likely to face greater oversight.

This Is A Historic Change For The IRS

The increased focus on those with higher earnings is a massive change in historical trends. Normally, the more you made, the less likely an audit, simply because the IRS’s resources could not accommodate regular audits of highly complex tax returns. Recent budgetary changes made it so that the IRS now has the resources.

Red Flags Are Not Signs Of Guilt

New audits will increase on those making more than $1,000,000 per year. The IRS will utilize artificial intelligence and other improved technology to look at “compliance threats.” However, being the target of an audit is no proof of any wrongdoing.

Simply having a large income and complex assets does not make any individual guilty or liable for tax evasion or fraud. However, there are greater opportunities for mistakes and miscalculations. The challenges you may face in an audit are incredibly stressful, but you do not have to face these without help.
