\"blue<\/a>three types, including one that some taxpayers don’t recognize as an audit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

according to harper\u2019s magazine, more than half of all americans would rather be mugged than audited by the irs. and many americans don\u2019t see much of a difference between the two events.<\/p>\n

and that\u2019s a problem. because fear and loathing are not conducive to voluntary compliance.

\nwhat taxpayer can help but cringe at the thought of having to document every penny of income and deduction? and the fact is, taxpayers are supposed<\/strong> to cringe at the thought of an audit. that\u2019s half the purpose of audits \u2013 to encourage compliance through deterrence.<\/p>\n

but how well does deterrence work?<\/p>\n

the irs should be concerned.<\/strong><\/p>\n

according to several social science research studies, deterrence has some effect on compliance, but a few other factors may have even stronger impacts. and deterrence, in the form of audits and subsequent penalties, may actually work against<\/strong> compliance.<\/p>\n

the american system of taxation depends fundamentally on voluntary compliance. no one is looking over every taxpayer\u2019s shoulder as they try to figure out what they owe and what they can legally get away with. without voluntary compliance, the whole system falls apart. the nation goes broke.<\/p>\n

the irs, therefore, is concerned about factors that positively or negatively impact compliance. and national taxpayer advocate nina e. olson believes the irs should be even more concerned.<\/p>\n

in its annual report to congress, the taxpayer advocacy service says, \u201c\u2026 the national taxpayer advocate believes that in selecting returns and evaluating audit cases, the irs should research and consider how the audits build taxpayers\u2019 trust and affect future voluntary compliance.\u201d<\/p>\n

according to a few studies, audits, regardless of their outcome, may actually discourage<\/strong> subsequent compliance.<\/p>\n

audits in decline<\/strong><\/p>\n

over the years, with its budget steadily reduced, the irs has been conducting fewer and fewer audits. in 2007, 1.5 million, or 0.9 percent of taxpayers, got the bad news. ten years later, the irs touched 1.1 million, or just 0.5 percent, of taxpayers.<\/p>\n
