audit safety

If I've already received a refund does that mean the IRS will not audit me this year? If not, when can one be assured they are not going to be selected for an IRS audit? If receipt of a refund is an indicator, what about people who owe additional taxes with their return?

Re: audit safety

Receipt of a refund is not an indicator that your return will not be audited. Generally, the IRS has a three year period from the due date to start an audit so you are not out of the woods until April 15, 2008. If you omit from gross income items totalling 25% of gross income, then a six year period applies.
Call me if you have any further questions.
