What triggers an audit?
- To determine which organizations should be targeted, experienced specialists analyze information from Forms 990 and other sources.
- This analysis will usually result in the selection of a group of returns for examination or compliance check.
- EO also reviews media reports and receives complaints from the general public and Congress about potential non-compliance by exempt organizations.
- After confirming the information, and when appropriate, these organizations may be selected for examination or to receive a compliance check. For details on how EO handles complaints about exempt organizations, see Fact Sheet 2008-13. (It goes to the Dallas field office, because Texans know how to investigate nonprofits, presumably?)
- Regardless of the process used to select returns, EO does not presume that an organization is violating the tax laws before it begins the examination or sends a compliance check letter.
