Rental Property Owners Become New Targets for IRS Audits
The IRS agreed to increase the number of audits of tax returns of landlords and rental property owners. An IRS audit of the tax return may result in tax assessment as landlords and rental property owners may be misunderstanding the reporting requirements. Besides the tax assessment a landlord or rental property owner could be assessed a tax penalty for misreporting.
One way to survive an audit is to make sure you have the proper documentation.
