The fact that I have to file the return is itself part of the problem. This process should be “irs gives you a refund or tells you what you owe and then you either dispute it or take it”. The audit practice invites mischief into a system where someone makes a judgement about when to audit, and the process is the punishment.
Just tell me what I owe, and if I feel like it I can dispute it. If they can validate a tax return they obviously know what would be correct.
