Are You Filing Taxes in 2025? Avoid These ACTUAL IRS Audit Red Flags

Save your cash and your sanity!

An IRS audit can break you—humiliating, relentless, and designed to crush the unprepared. I’m Anthony Parent, a tax attorney with 20 years fighting the IRS beast. I’ve saved clients from ruin, but not everyone can afford my firm—so here’s my free playbook to keep the IRS off your back. The IRS isn’t what it was. Once a misery machine auditing everyone, it’s now a shadow of itself—bled dry by retirements since 2009. Today, it hunts easy prey for max damage with minimal effort. Know their game, and you can win.

Key 1: Ditch the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Trap – Low-income families get this break, but the IRS pounces with mail audits. Most don’t even know they’re hit—perfect for the IRS’s stats. Double-check dependents’ names and SSNs, or hire muscle like us at IRSMedic to fight back.

Key 2: Swap Schedule C for a Business Return – Self-employed? Schedule C is an audit magnet—1000% riskier than an 1120-S or 1065. Complexity scares the IRS off, plus you can deduct more aggressively. Yes, prep costs rise, but audits can scar you for life. Book a fix at irsmedic.com/prep.
Key 3: Hide Foreign Assets at Your Peril – Got overseas income or accounts? The IRS drools over unreported FBARs, slamming 50% penalties on the vulnerable—like an 80-year-old widow with dementia. Get a compliance check at irsmedic.com before they strike.

Key 4: Don’t Repeat ‘Creative’ Tax Moves – Took a bold deduction? Fine, but don’t do it yearly. The IRS waits for patterns to pile on penalties—max ROI for them, max pain for you. Mix it up.

Key 5: The Chinese Name Hack (Yes, Really) – IRS skips audits on Chinese-American businesses. No Mandarin-speaking staff, no fight. Can’t change your name? Point is, they target the weak, not the clever.
The IRS is a bully with a skeleton crew—newbies chase simple cases while the best quit in disgust. Don’t be their punching bag. Got audit fears? Drop questions below, smash that like, and follow for more. Anthony Parent, IRSMedic—keeping the IRS’s claws off you!
