If I get audited for one year, will they keep auditing me year after year?

If the audit results in adjustments where you owe additional tax then the chances of other years being examined increases greatly.

Generally, if there are no adjustments and your return is accepted as originally filed (a "no change") the IRS will not audit those same items for several years. If you receive an examination letter for an earlier or later year after a "no change" we can call the IRS office and dispute the need for another examination.
