Take any Shakespearean play of the
tragedy variety and you already know the outcome. At the height of his
treachery the villain is forced to confront his own humanity and to perish with
friends and loved ones shedding a questionable tear. In 2016, the Internal
Revenue Service started a program of on line self-audit. It was actually an
online audit program where individual taxpayers were able to use an online
portal to communicate with the IRS. The program allowed documents to be
attached and answers to questions posed by examiners to be posted. Imagine the
cost savings to the IRS in this kind of program. Add this to the service’s own
data mining which will expose suspicious activity and identify cases for
possible audit and you can almost see the future. This program was a mere test
of the online audit concept. Surprisingly, many taxpayers said they were
satisfied with the program. They have course could’ve been the taxpayers who
gave the right online responses.
