I have never been audited and I hope that I never get audited, although I don't think I have anything to worry about, haha.

Is the post about "Dating Models in Chennai" still up?  How quickly after reporting does it get removed?

      My last "audit" was by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Real Estate.  They were in Tallahassee for one week doing random audits.  I was first up at 8:00AM on a Monday morning.  FOUR auditors were in my home office (3 of them were being trained).  Let us see your listing contracts for the past two years, let's see your agency disclosure forms, let's see this and let's see that.

   I passed it with flying colors!

 

To your question about IRS, never.

NEVER! My Dad got in trouble late in his career and it caused him to not be able to retire. Due to that situation I have always hired CPS's to make sure I would never have a reason to fear the IRS Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS

Thankfully I haven't been audited and I hope I never have to go through that. I do my best to follow the rules. We're probably overly cautious.

The unemployment department audited me once.  I had fired a secretary and apparently she told them I had LOTS of employees I didn't pay taxes for.  Turned out they weren't "employees", but agents.... so zero violations found and all was well.  Never had that issue with the IRS.
