Auditor request

[ILLMAS]

Has anybody ever encountered a situation like this?  Agent is requesting book vs tax reconciliation work paper from the tax preparer when the only reconciling item is depreciation.  The financials used to prepare the tax return is a mirror copy of tax return.

Maybe the auditor is fishing to see what pops up?

I always fall back on ignoring “requests” and sharing only what is required.

Which is why, if at all possible ,I never wanted my clients present during any audit no matter what kind, Income Tax, Workers Comp, Employment Tax

or Liability Insurance.
