Yes, you should advise the examining agent that you were audited on this issue the prior year.  Usually the IRS does not audit taxpayers on consecutive years for the same issue unless the audit exposed inappropriate deductions.  If the adjustments from the prior audit were minor, often the second examination will be terminated.  You may need to speak with the agent's manager if the audit continues.  You should consider hiring a tax professional to represent you in this matter.
