I feel very lucky to know Ben Rucker, especially as 2015 has ended and tax season begins to loom. A few years ago, he was able to easily catch an error that had been flagging me for IRS audits.  The IRS had audited me every three years for decades, and hasn't come after me since.  Am I cynical enough to think the big accounting firm I had doing my taxes planted the red flag so they could make more money representing me in the audits?

Ben's years of experience as a special auditor at the IRS particularly qualifies him to talk about the issue that's next in my formalities checklist: making sure that your tax returns, books and records all agree.  See the post he wrote for me at http://www.llcwizard.com/minimize-irs-audit-pain.
