When you are preparing your tax documents, it’s important to check and then double-check all your numbers. Errant math is one of the easiest ways the IRS can single in on an individual for a tax audit. It is the number one reason people in the U.S. face a tax audit. This is a shame because math is something that each of us has complete control over but, for whatever reason, we can fail to send in factual numbers. There are professional tax programs out there that will even do the math for you.
When filing taxes, it does not pay to stand out. The IRS is constantly on the lookout for any patterns which deviate from the norm and will single you out if possible. If you are entering truthful tax information, make sure you have supporting documents and proof which can back this data up. That way, when the IRS comes calling, you have absolute proof that you are being truthful.
When filling out your tax forms, you need to double-check that all SSNs are entered correctly for any represented parties including dependents. It’s all too easy to transpose a digit or to incorrectly recall a number when you don’t have it in front of you. Make sure and recheck this before submitting it.
Make sure you are entering correct SSNs for all parties you are filing taxes for including dependents. It’s very easy to switch a number or recall one incorrectly, so make sure and check again before submitting it.
