IRS audits explained how forms are chosen
Stratton Mountain report details how individual income tax returns are selected for audit by the Internal Revenue Service. Commissioner Donald C. Alexander explains that about three fourths of the 1.8 million 1974 audits used a computer DIF system or DIF-selected returns, with remaining audits from auxiliary sources including high income screening and TCMP. The DIF method scores returns to indicate audit probability, while TCMP provides random audits to refine DIF. The program aims to maximize voluntary compliance, with 1974 audits yielding 67 percent additional tax, 28 percent no change, and 5 percent refunds. Publication 556 is highlighted for taxpayers' appeal rights and refunds.
