If I file my tax return and it is accepted, can I get a tax refund for half and be told that the IRS is auditing me and keeping the other half of my check until the audit is over?

ANSWER

The BIDaWIZ Team's Answer:

No: your prposed fact pattern is not plausible. If the return

is accepted, your refund will be remitted, in accordance with the

filed tax return. If it is adjusted, you will receive written notice, of the

adjustment, and you will be given an opportunity to challenge the

proposed adjustment. If the return is selected for audit, you will

not receive the refund, until the audit is concluded, and you accept the

audit findings.
