HIRE A TAX ATTORNEY!

Wife and I got audited for 2005 return. We owed 5k according to IRS. Tax attorney check was for $500. You cannot beat that return.

I did make a mistake on the return, but the IRS makes assumptions which have "loopholes".

Hire someone to prepare this for you. Even if you always do your own taxes, hire someone to help you or confirm you owe everything stated in audit. Mine was an honest mistake (a 1099 did not get forwarded to me after moving twice in 2005). Simple problem, compelx solution.
