The Risk Of A Schedule C Audit

A Schedule C audit is one that seeks to identify underreported income. That’s one of the key responsibilities of the IRS usually, and they are renewing focus there. Companies that report no income or losses year in and year out may see their financials under federal scrutiny.

At Bomar Law Firm, our attorneys represent Atlanta businesses in any and all audit matters. Tax law’s complexity and high stakes are major concerns for business stakeholders across Georgia. Our teams take your questions and anxieties seriously, offering insight and diligent, impactful representation.

What Is Schedule C?

Schedule C is the area on your tax return that contains all the information regarding your business’s operating costs and revenues. The IRS monitors this data and generally considers some things red flags for an audit. The current emphasis is on a pattern of losses overall for multiple years.

Some Businesses Always Operate At A Loss

There are some businesses that nearly always operate at a loss or rarely turn a profit. That’s never been a normal concern for any business, as operating at a loss is often a sign of a well-leveraged business asset. However, the IRS may have concerns with companies hiding profits among their business expenses.
