However, starting in fiscal 2024, the IRS said it would “substantially” reduce the number of correspondence audits, or audits by mail, for filers claiming the earned income tax credit.

More money for illegals.

Good advice in the article. But I think I’ll just use the “Hillary technique” instead.

IRS agent: You reported no income for 2022, yet you claimed a $15,000 refund. Please explain that.
Me: What difference at this point does it make?

I retired January of 2023. This is going to be the most complex tax return I have ever seen. I hope I don’t forget something.

I subscribe to the Willie Nelson school of tax filing.

EVERYTHING is a deduction.

How do you avoid the jury duty lottery? Because I got one of those infernal things yesterday.

I was doing well up until 2023. New ‘threshold for filing’ is $1,954.00 lower than what my SS was this year with the two tiny ‘bumps’ we’ve gotten in the past few years in SS which is my only income.

Grrrr! It was fun while it lasted!

Well, I can write off my charitable donations at least...which will trigger an audit I’m sure. *Rolleyes*

Been nice knowing you all! ;)

I pay a CPA for our taxes. Gives me peace of mind knowing that any deductions and our income are correct. With thousands upon thousands of pages the tax code is unmanageable for someone not well versed in it. How the irs can expect a common person to understand the verbiage is beyond me.
That said I expect if we were audited we would have even more eligible deductions.
When it comes to anything with state or federal government it’s best to practice conservative deductions just in case.
