<prompt> Human: I did my taxes 2 weeks ago, it still shows received and processing I forgot to include my interest earned from my savings account 38And a 1099 side job that I made 1200 Am I likely to get audited?? Im gonna file an amendment, but I heard its best to wait to receive your refund first, so it doesnt delay it any further. Afterwards, you can file the amendment. My question is if the irs is already going to catch this mistake and audit me before I even file the amendment. Assistant: They will catch the mistake, but they wont audit you - they will send you a bill for the taxes due. You can either file the amendment or wait for their bill. forgetting to pay small taxes like in your example does not trigger an audit - If you get audited its for other red flags, NOT this missed 1099 income.Human: Do you have a source for this? Or is it just your personal opinion?  <response>: Audit less than 1 for individuals. Document matching 100 for individuals.If you dont correct the return by amending, the IRS Very Old Computer will in 9 to 12 months.Source, at IRS.gov
