Anyone here ever been audited? What's your experience been like?
Fortunately, the letter I received is only asking me for one thing -- documentation for one number on my return. (Mortgage interest.) And it doesn't actually use the word 'audit' anywhere. A rumor I've heard says that once they decide they're only asking you about one thing, they won't then widen their scope again -- but that's just "a rumor I've heard", not "something I've seen in black and white in an IRS publication".
Also fortunately, I think the thing they're asking about is in fact documented. I believe I can supply the paperwork they need. (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
joedecker, any advice on presentation from your lovely and talented wife would be *enormously* appreciated. Maybe she'd barter for a gift certificate to a nice restaurant or something.)
