IRS announces a multi-year effort to increase audits in flow-through entities

IRS wants to audit more S corporations and partnerships focusing on these areas:

  • Losses deducted that are in excess of basis
  • Loss limitations due to at-risk rules and passive activity rules
  • S corporation officer compensation
  • Unreported income
  • Abusive tax avoidance transactions

My CPA Practice Advisor article focuses on IRS compliance efforts to audit more flow-through entities and what you can do to prepare for an IRS inquiry or audit of your S corp or partnership.
