<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1404544, member: 26302&quot;]Very true. I was not describing a normal occurence, but rather after a subpoena has been obtained. However, these are very easy to obtain and the IRS has a very sharp focus on the &quot;tax gap&quot; for the last 5 years. Cash businesses are listed as the number one reason there is a tax gap, and as such is one of the highest priorities for enforcement action within the IRS.</p><p><br /></p><p>People may say &quot;yeah there is a chance to get the random audit each year&quot;, but look who disproportionately gets these &quot;compliance audits&quot;. They are highly skewed towards those who work with cash, especially large sums of untraceable cash. There is supposed to be less than 1% chance of being selected for one of these audits, yet my father who is an electrical contractor has been &quot;lucky&quot; three times. Once you are in one of these audits, the auditor could get a warrant in about 10 seconds from any Tax Court to ask to see the inventory.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I agree they cannot just waltz right in Doug, but in practical purposes I think its easier than you believe. Agents are scored on results, and with the push for tax gap coverage are being rewarded for documenting a closing of this gap. I really cannot go into it more than that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
