Received an IRS Audit Letter? Here’s What It Means
What This Letter Is
An IRS audit letter means the IRS is requesting documentation or clarification regarding specific items on your tax return. Audits can be limited in scope and are often conducted by mail.
An audit does not automatically mean wrongdoing — it means the IRS wants more information.
What Happens If You Ignore It
- The IRS may disallow deductions or income positions
- The audit may be decided without your input
- Additional taxes, penalties, or interest may result
