auditor requests. Making the job
easier could win you some points.
Also, remember that it’s your
legal responsibility to prove your
deductions.
Don’t: Forget that you’re essentially
testifying when you talk to an audi-
tor. Answer questions with a yes or
no, and don’t comment unless asked.Do: Make sure your file is complete.
Missing some records? That’s no
excuse. Order duplicates.
Don’t: Cop an attitude. Auditors have
a job to do, and having a chip on
your shoulder won’t help your case.
Do: Know your rights. If you don’t
agree with the outcome, you can
appeal. It also might be wise to talk
with a professional tax lawyer.Biting the
INSIDE OF
YOUR MOUTH- Rinse carefully. A
swig of water will help
get rid of any food that
might irritate the cut. - Apply pressure. Use
gauze or a washcloth
to stanch any bleeding. - Numb the pain by
holding something cold
against the wound.
(Popsicles!) - Keep rinsing with
warm, salty water. Do it
twice a day to help the
wound heal, which will
take three to four days.
