Would you be more willing to have an audit… if the IRS paid YOU?
Non-sports post.
I love the idea.
Right now, everyone hates the idea of the audit because it’s a losing propositiion for you. At best, you end up at the same spot. At worst, it’ll cost you money. So, there’s pressure by the taxpayers on the IRS, via Congress, to limit the number of audits. But, what if every audit meant 3000$ in the auditees pocket? Now, isn’t it more likely you might be a bit more careful with your taxes? You might even savor an audit as free cash. I love the idea, and now it’s a matter of setting the price, and setting the percentage of returns to audit.
