Question: I quit my job at the end of 2008, filed 2008 taxes, and couldn’t find a job since, will I be audited?
Ran out of room in the question title –
since I had no income for 2009, I am afraid that not filing taxes for 2009, the income drop will trigger a red flag and result in an audit. How worried should I be? I have nothing to hide however I do not want to go through this.
Answer: You may or may not get audited. Not having a job and filing for 2009 may trigger something, but since you’ve had no job, the audit will be quick if it even happens at all. Don’t worry about it.
