How to Appeal an IRS Audit
Hi. I'm Tom Choisnet. Enrolled agent. In this segment I'm going to talk about cash basis accounting. Most people don't realize this but all taxpayers by default are cash basis taxpayers. And most of the tracking systems that we have to determine whether you've reported the right amount of income are based on cash basis information. Cash basis simply means that you report income as received and expenses as they are paid. This even carries over into salesmen who might earn commission in December and get paid in January. It is January income. That's just a little bit of a synopsis of what they mean by cash basis accounting and it does clear up some of the confusion you might have. The other means of accounting is accrual and there are some people who much use accrual accounting and I will discuss that a little more in another segment. So, thank you for watching this segment. I'm Tom Choisnet, enrolled agent.
