State Tax audit adding missing deductions.

[Darek]

Hello, I have a question about tax audits. Is the purpose of the audit to correct your mistakes the good and the bad or is  to just find what is bad with it? If the auditor disallows say and advertising deduction and during the audit process I submit an extra utility i did not have before to deduct or extra business expense that I incurred will the auditor  take that into account?

If the question is whether or not you can claim legitimate deductions that you did not take, then the answer is "yes".
