A recent article reveals that over 80% of IRS audits target taxpayers making less than $1 million per year. As a business owner or high-income individual, you could be at risk even if you don't consider yourself ultra-wealthy.
In this week's video, Jeff Trapp, founder of The Tax Planning Pros breaks down what's really happening inside the IRS and shares key tips to avoid catching their attention and triggering an audit.
Jeff explains that while the IRS claims to use new funding to pursue high-net-worth individuals and large corporations, the data shows they actually go after "easier targets" - everyday taxpayers and small business owners making under $1 million annually.
Why? Simple - they know most ordinary folks don't have the resources to endure a lengthy litigation battle with the IRS. So when faced with an audit notice, many just pay up rather than fight it.
This represents tens of billions in revenue for the IRS. And you could be the next target even if you've always filed your taxes carefully and properly.

When it comes to taxes, the distinction between a business and a hobby is crucial. A business is an activity that is done to make a profit, while a hobby is an activity done for pleasure or relaxation.

In this episode of the Jeff Trapp Podcast, Jeff will break it all down to help you better understand the key differences. He'll also help you better grasp the steps you need to take to ensure you can legally qualify for those business deductions for your new business.

Today on the Jeff Trapp Podcast we are bringing you a jam packed episode. So, whatever you're doing right now, stop and take some time to listen to Jeff discuss the tax changes we’ll be seeing here in 2023. For instance, there is the Inflation Reduction Act that passed in August of 2022. Its purpose is to curb inflation, but it also bolstered the IRS with 80 billion dollars. So now we’re also looking at a beefed up IRS department with the funding they need to enforce tax laws. That means the IRS will have more resources to better scrutinize more business owners. The IRS is likely to look closer at things like crypto currency reporting, salaries, and distributions, syndicated conservation easements, and more. Which is why you need to be on the lookout. And if you would like to know what you need to watch out for this year, you’d better tune in. Be sure to like, subscribe, and share our podcast.
