Our Audit programs deter abuse and promote voluntary compliance by businesses and individuals. These programs include:

• Desk and field audits to ensure compliance and to verify the correct tax has been paid – taxpayers should pay the correct tax required by law and not one penny more.
• Initiatives to identify non-filers.
• Activities that identify egregious tax practices and evasion schemes.
• Taxpayer education to help taxpayers correctly and voluntarily comply with tax laws – now and in the future. 

Our audit programs continually improve as we:

• leverage technology to conduct more audits.
• enhance staff capabilities.
• foster our partnerships with the IRS, localities, other states and state agencies to conduct audits and exchange information. 
• gain access to more information from third parties.
• improve the methods used to select productive cases for audit.

We strive to minimize the impact of an audit on businesses and individuals. Publications are available to inform you about what to expect during an audit.
