The IRS performs millions of tax return audits every year. In 2020, they plan on completing approximately 581 million individual income tax returns with the help of electronic filing. They also conduct about 240 million business returns audits, which involve reviewing forms such as 1040, 1120 and more. Additionally, the IRS reviews around 300,000 estates, trusts, and gift returns. All audit work is carried out by IRS revenue agents who review tax returns and accounts for accuracy, then meet with taxpayers when necessary to further clarify or verify information.
