I won my audit. They agreed with everything I claimed sans a $57 purchase that I could not find a receipt for.

Good for you!

Care if I ask how many deductions you claimed?
Are your taxes pretty complicated? I switched jobs from California and my state tax is taking a ridiculous amount of time. I'm kind of concerned based on what I reported for job movement.
Most of it was uploaded automatically with the relo etc, so I'm not sure how there could really be an issue. Maybe Missouri just sucks balls at processing them.

Had a small business that I decided to close in 2013. That complicated things a bit. It was a basic 1040 with a Schedule A and C, with family things like retirement savings and child credit.
They completely audited Schedules A and C.
A wasn't too bad because most of my charitable contributions were to one place. C was a nightmare. I had most of the big receipts, but had to track down some things that I didn't have acceptable records of.
I spent $57 to have some coupons printed at Fedex Kinkos. Couldn't find that receipt so I lost that "advertising" deduction.

Good to know. Hopefully I'm well below their radar but its been the full 6 weeks.
Even California got me my state last year in like 2 and I figured they'd be hands down the worst.

I'm glad to hear that. Those are always my favorite kind of audits, I'd rather go somewhere and find out the taxpayer is doing everything right.

Honestly it really wasn't bad. I have a Neat scanner and had most everything pretty accessible. The auditor was pleasantly surprised when I had everything organized and flagged and coded and all. It was time consuming, and while there is a part of me that says they wasted time on me (I was a random audit), it was a little satisfying to sit there and have a verified answer for every question.

I love when there are uploaded files.
You'd be surprised how often I go somewhere and it is literally cardboard box filled with invoices, usually indexed by year.

When they hand you a cardboard box of receipts, how is that handled?
I can't imagine they can just walk in and say here is my proof and toss you an unorganized mess. Who is responsible for sorting everything? At what point does it become the tax payer or the auditors responsibility?
