The IRS may flag your return for several reasons,
- Excessive deductions or credits,
- Unreported income,
- Rounded numbers and more.
Audits can also be triggered through a random selection process in which a computerized system compares your return "against 'norms' for similar returns,"
The best protection is thorough records, including receipts and documentation.
