The IRS will send an audit letter to your client and it could be sent from the Service Center (audit by mail), a local office (an audit at an IRS office location), or from a Revenue Agent (a field audit). There are different types of IRS Audits, some more serious than others.

An IRS Audit by Mail
	Sometimes the IRS can not find all the documentation it needs for your tax return. Usually, this means you are missing forms such as W-2s or 1099s. In this case, the IRS simply requests that you mail them the missing information. Other times, the IRS wants you to substantiate an expense by mail such as donations taken on a Schedule A or an expense taken on Schedule C. Simply prepare for them in the same manner as if you were in front of an examiner and mail them in; registered mail.

You will meet with a Tax Examiner who will question you about your deductions and supporting documentation. This type of audit may also require you to produce additional documentation, like bank records, that are not normally included with your tax return. This type of an audit will normally take two to four hours to complete. Sometimes it could take weeks. Most office examiners only audit individuals and very seldom to they audit corporations or partnership returns. They may ask for them just for inspection purposes only such the case as an "S" corp to inspect the schedule "K-1" form.
