I have been audited on my state tax return and I would like to know why ? Am I being represented by a Turbo tax representative ? I paid for my audit protection.

Is it an actual audit or is your return being reviewed?  Or did they request that you verify your identity?  Did the state send you a letter?  What does it say and what tax year is it about?  And what state?

It’s an actual audit. I keep track of my refund status on the IRS website and there’s a message saying I am being audited and a letter was sent to me Via mail which I am currently waiting for and once I receive it I am supposed to review it and send in some documents they are asking me for. It’s for my NY State refund for the year 2018. The message doesn’t say anything about me needing to verify my identity, it just says a letter was sent to my home for me to review their reason why I was audited. But my question is, I paid for audit protection this year through turbo tax, shouldn’t a turbo tax representative be representing me or helping me ?

Wait for the letter to arrive so you know what it actually says. It may not really be an "audit" at all.  It might be a request for copies of W-2's etc, which is common.   Not sure what you think you are seeing on the IRS site about a NY return, since the IRS site is for federal returns.  Do you mean you see something on the NY site?

MN sent me a letter asking for a copy of our former state's tax form as part of a "review". No reason for the review was given.  What can I do to get a reason for the review?

[hjw72]

A Review.

You can contact the agency that is requesting the review and ask them the reason for the review. I am sure there is contact information on the notice they sent you.

Listen, I was audited along with many others. These people are being sued for not doing their jobs! Don’t keep speaking to these…..”people” to say in the nicest way I can. Call the audit attorneys which you WILL get. They should’ve sent you an email giving you your very own account and confirmation number! They have taken 12K from me and I’m still fighting it.

@Outlaw_865 If you are referring to your 2021 tax refund, that was not an "audit."   Not all changes made to your tax return by the IRS are the result of an "audit."   However, if the IRS found some sort of mistake and reduced your refund after a review, or after finding that you owed back taxes, child support or made some sort of data entry error, then your refund could be reduced and you would receive a letter from the IRS.   Did they send  a letter for 2021?   Or are you referring to some earlier tax year for which you really were audited?

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE IRS/STATE

TurboTax does not receive any information from the IRS or your state after your return was filed, so no one at TurboTax knows about a letter you received from the IRS or the state.

(what the letters from the IRS mean)
