IRS Audits: Tips for Staying on the IRS’s Good Side

The IRS has the authority to audit any tax return. Optima CEO David King and Lead Tax Attorney Philip Hwang explain what an audit is and help taxpayers understand what they can do to stay on the right side of the IRS. (One important tip: The IRS sends audit notices through the U.S. Postal Service. “Audit notices” coming to you over the phone or email can safely be considered a scam.)
