You're making mountains out of molehills. Don't worry about it. I seriously doubt anyone at the IRS is scrutinizing your return, of the over 300,000,000 million returns they receive each year. More than 90% of those filed returns are never seen by human eyes. The 10% that are, are those kicked out by the computers.
Even the returns that are printed and mailed get scanned into their computers. Rarely does a human actually read one and scrutinize it.
They have a system that will radnomly kick out returns based on programmed criteria for human review, as a rough "checks and balances" thingy, and that's it. One year, they paid attention to charitable donations. Another year, they paid attention to home energy credits. So your chances of being targeted are about the same as mine are - which is nil.
