There is no reason to pay the government more taxes than what is legally due from you or your company. That is why you do due diligence to make sure that you only state income that you are legally obligated to and take all deductions you are entitled to. The problem with being smart with your taxes though is that by being tax savvy, you stick out and could potentially get targeted by the IRS for an audit.
While the IRS only audits slightly over 1% of income tax returns, getting tagged for one can be a very stressful experience. The best way to avoid an audit is by hiring tax attorneys California or wherever you are from. If you have a tax lawyer, you can be sure that your tax declarations are as streamlined and as favorable as possible without violating any tax rules. Having an expert onboard can save you from the burden of an IRS audit without sacrificing your hard earned income.
In the unlikely event though that you get targeted for an IRS audit, the best course of action is to get an IRS audit attorney to analyze your situation and, if worse comes to worse, represent you in court. Having an IRS audit attorney can be beneficial because the expertise of a seasoned tax lawyer will make sure that your situation is analyzed carefully and you are represented fairly and professionally. With a good IRS audit attorney, the state may end up owing you money, depending on the situation.
