Gary Kane, Owner and Managing Partner of Kane Forensic Accounting, discusses who’s at risk for an audit and how to avoid one.

Orlando, FL – March 24, 2016 – Gary Kane, Owner and Managing Partner of Kane Forensic Accounting, an Orlando forensic accounting firm, recently published an article titled “10 Audit Red Flags and Why You Don’t Need to Worry” on his website (http://www.kaneforensic.com).

Gary Kane writes, “I’ve never met a taxpayer who wasn’t worried about an audit, but the good news is you’re pretty unlikely to be audited. In fact, in 2015, less than one percent of tax returns were audited. There’s also a three-year statute of limitations on audits. So you can relax, your fears of having to pay up or produce receipts for obscure expenses claimed in 1999 are unfounded. For the majority of those who are audited, it’s a simple paper audit where they receive a letter from the IRS in the mail, asking for supporting documentation or correction. The IRS does not call you or e-mail you to demand money – if this happens, it’s probably a scam. Rumors abound about what might trigger an audit, from charitable and home office deductions to under-reporting income. Let’s take a look at the top 10 red flags for an audit and why you don’t need to worry about them at all.”
