IRVINE, Calif., April 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The IRS has developed computerized statistical protocols to identify when a return with potentially incorrect information has been filed. Reporting irregularities are found by comparing information supplied by third parties including financial institutions, individuals, and businesses. When a taxpayer's return is flagged by the IRS, they will then determine whether they should investigate the matter, which is the purpose of a tax audit. You may receive notice that an IRS agent wants to further examine the records in question. For example, evidence of unreported revenue would immediately garner the attention of an IRS examiner.
