Small Business Audit Basic Information

When you are selected for an audit, it should not automatically imply that you have done something wrong. Businesses are often selected at random. However, every business owner should be aware of the basic information regarding legal business practices. We strongly recommend that you give our Bellevue office a call if you are unsure whether or not you are well-prepared for your audit. For instance, there are certain business practices that may increase your chances of being selected. If you are a small business, be sure that you have organized accounts of the following:

  • quarterly/bi-quarterly/annual reports
  • tax exemptions (with receipts)
  • tips, if applicable

A history of inconsistent reports or discrepancies with your taxes will increase your risk for being audited. If your business has a history of disorganized bookkeeping, it is in your absolute best interest to call the law office of Lana Kurilova Rich, LLC. We can help you organize your records so to reduce suspicious business behavior and therefore minimize penalties.
