Essentially, that is applicable to all of the categories.

 

For example, if you reported $100,000 as income and $50,000 as advertising expenses, that would probably raise that same red flag.

 

Regardless, the most you are likely to get out of this scenario would be a correspondence audit, and your response would simply be copies of the receipts from your expenditures.
