IRS audit Tag

If you make under $200,000 a year, your chances of getting audited by the IRS are just above 1%.  Some people like those odds and take a chance by screwing around on their annual tax returns.  Does this mean you can get away with cheating on your taxes? Absolutely not.  The IRS uses sophisticated computer algorithms to decide on which returns to audit.  If your return looks strange, your chances of being audited go way up.
