Need to know

What is an IRS tax investigation?

An official inquiry where the IRS verifies the accuracy of income, deductions, and credits by examining returns and supporting records—sometimes contacting banks or employers to corroborate information. The goal is to identify errors, discrepancies, or potential fraud and enforce compliance. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
