However, the IRS conducts audits as a means to catch human errors or intentional inaccuracies, typically within a 3 to 6-year period after filing.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1abc2a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1abc2a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why are taxpayers selected for an Audit?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab0bfec elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ab0bfec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-f6848896-7fff-401e-abf4-b3026a6cc337\"><\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;font-family:Inter,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\">The IRS uses a strategic approach to determine which taxpayers are audited.
