After you file

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.
