The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) enforces taxpayers’ obligations whether they live in the United States or abroad, and whether they incur their federal income tax obligations in the U.S. or overseas. As a result, regardless of where you live, and regardless of where you hold your assets or earn your income, if you underreport or underpay your U.S. income tax there is a good chance that you will eventually be audited by the IRS.

While the IRS conducts hundreds of thousands of audits every year, if you are being audited, this is far from a routine situation. If you are not careful, your IRS audit could lead to substantial liability; and, depending on what the auditors find, it could potentially even lead to allegations of criminal tax fraud. Here US International Tax Advisors discusses five critical mistakes to avoid if you are being audited by the IRS.
