I'm a part-time musician who made close to $9K last year and had expenses of about $2800 due to some new instrument purchases. I've been working as a musician for six years but this year Illinois sent me a "Request for Business Income or Loss Verification" and they want me to send a copy of Schedule C, 1099-MISC forms, sales slips, ledger pages of income and expenses, etc. Any reason I shouldn't send them all of this info? They say if I don't I'll be audited. I did purchase the audit protection from Turbotax. Let me know. Thanks.
