The IRS audit process typically involves the following steps: 1) You’ll receive an audit notice informing you of the items being examined. 2) You’ll need to gather relevant records and documentation. 3) There may be an in-person interview or you may correspond by mail. 4) The IRS will propose any changes and give you a chance to respond. 5) If you disagree, you can appeal within the IRS or the U.S. Tax Court. Understanding the process and your rights can help ensure a fair outcome. Consult a tax professional if needed.
