The odds of being audited vary depending on several factors, such as the amount of income you report on your tax return, the type of deductions and credits you claim, and whether you own a business.
According to IRS data, the overall audit rate is relatively low, with less than 1% of individual tax returns being audited in a given year. However, the audit rate is higher for individuals with higher incomes and for those who claim certain deductions or credits.
