Does the IRS Audit By Mail?

Yes they do. Most IRS audits are actually conducted through the mail instead of face to face meetings with revenue agents. These are called correspondence audits. It is like being audited by a computer. There is not a name assigned to your case, you can't generally call anyone, and you send your responses to an address from the IRS notice. It takes extra effort to get the documents to IRS so you can get the exam completed and your story told. We send all documents on corresponding audits by certified mail. I have had document requests from IRS have a postmark later than the deadline for response. Hard to meet a deadline if you are notified after the fact. Correspondence audits can be effectively handled but it often requires a healthy dose of tenacity and a bulldog approach. As always, if we don't agree we will appeal the findings.
