The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Inspections are responsible for conducting audits of taxpayers to ensure compliance with the tax laws. They review and analyze financial records, interview taxpayers, and make sure that taxes are being paid correctly. Audits are conducted to detect underreporting of income, overstating of deductions, or other violations of the tax code. The IRS Inspections team is an important part of the IRS's enforcement efforts to ensure that taxpayers are paying their fair share of taxes.
