Defining the Role of a Tax Auditor

    The core function of a tax auditor is to examine financial records and supporting documentation against the figures reported on official returns, whether for individuals or corporations. This examination seeks to verify every line item, from gross receipts and reported income to specific deductions claimed for ordinary and necessary business expenses. A primary goal is to confirm that the taxpayer's stated liability aligns precisely with the relevant federal or state tax law.

    The auditor works to identify discrepancies or misapplications of the law that may lead to an underpayment of taxes due. They scrutinize documentation that supports deductions, such as receipts for depreciation claimed or substantiation for charitable contributions. The auditor ultimately determines if the taxpayer owes additional tax, is duea refund, or if the return is accurate as filed.
