Here’s a valuable tax tip you can bank on from Ron Mueller, author of “It’s How Much You KEEP, That Counts! Not how much you Make”…

WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER E-FILE

E-filing is a good idea ONLY for people who want to INcrease their odds of getting audited! Here’s why…

On electronically-filed returns, an IRS computer will compare every line on your Forms and Schedules with “national averages” or “industry averages.” If any line-item is too far outside the “normal” range, you become a candidate for an possible audit.

BUT, filing a “Paper Return” helps you avoid audits in two ways…

First, a human being (actually it’s an IRS clerk) has to key-in your numbers so their computer can do the comparisons. IRS clerks may hold the title of Least-Motivated of all government employees, which means they may not get your info inputted overnight.

There is a limit to the number of audits the IRS can do in any given year, so by the time your info is in their computer, they may have already hit their cap. That means your return won’t even be ‘considered’ for an audit (unless something smells like “fraud,” in which case you’re screwed and I will deny ever knowing you).

Second, when they do get around to keying-in your numbers, they only input a FEW of the DOZENS of lines you filled-in on the Forms and Schedules you filed, NOT ALL of them.

So if you’re “outside the norm” on a line that wasn’t keyed-in, they’ll never realize it, so you’ll never have to explain it. Cool?
