Concerning partnerships and corporations, when the CPA does not prepare the balance sheet, errors often occur. Typical business tax return errors include deductions for non-deductible insurances, as well as for automobile improvements and equipment, rather than capitalization of the asset.
Although auditors are trained to look for fraud, they do not routinely suspect it. They know the tax law is complex and expect to find a few errors in every tax return. They will give you the benefit of the doubt most of the time and not go after you for tax fraud if you make an honest mistake. A careless mistake on your tax return might tack on a 20% penalty to your tax bill. While not good, this sure beats the cost of tax fraud -- a 75% civil penalty. The line between negligence and fraud is not always clear, however, even to the IRS and the courts.
