What risks are detected
Audit red flags
Unusually high deductions relative to income, home office claims, or large charitable donations can trigger IRS scrutiny.
Missed credits
EITC, child tax credit, education credits — commonly missed, worth hundreds to thousands of dollars.
Incorrect filing status
Filing as Single instead of Head of Household or Married Filing Separately can mean a higher tax bill.
Self-employment tax errors
SE tax applies to net self-employment income — incorrect calculation of the deductible portion is common.
