An IRS audit isn’t the end of the world

Description

Abstract: Most Americans dread getting word that the IRS intends to audit their tax returns. Though it’s unlikely most of us ever will, it’s good to be aware of steps to take to reduce the difficulties and make the process go more smoothly, such as gathering the information needed to respond appropriately, including invoices, canceled checks and receipts (as well as the tax return for the year(s) in question), and making duplicates of any documents you’ll need to provide the IRS.
