TurboTax not only helps you reduce your chance of an audit, we also give you clear guidelines with
illustrations on what to do if you are contacted by the IRS.
Includes Downloadable Audit Support Center
Being contacted by the IRS can be confusing and stressful, but it doesn’t have to be. That’s why we’ve created the TurboTax Audit Support Center, included for FREE with all TurboTax products.
Only about 1% of all personal tax returns were audited,* so it is unlikely, but if you are contacted by the IRS, we’ll help you to:
- Find out why the IRS contacted you
- Determine what it means
- Prepare your next steps
With downloadable step-by-step guidance, including what different types of IRS letters may mean, you’ll know exactly where you stand and what to do next.
Remember, TurboTax guarantees 100% accurate calculations. If you pay an IRS or state penalty or interest because of a TurboTax calculation error, we’ll pay you the penalty and interest.
*Based on IRS results for tax year 2008.
