If you are being audited as an individual, and you are the President of a Corporation,can the IRS audit it?

If I am being aduited as an individual, and I am the President of a Corporation, can the IRS audit the Corporation as well?

If they find a problem with your individual return, would they automatically aduit the Corporation?

And if we’re talking a small S-corp with several shareholders, the audit can spill over to the other shareholders as well.

If the IRS audits your 1040 and has no problem with it, the audit would probably stop there.

    It’s totally up to them. Whether or not they go after your corp. would depend heavily on what they find in your personal records I would think.

    Yes, the IRS can do pretty much whatever they choose…audit persons or companies or both at the same time at any time they choose……and you have no recourse with them….only to comply with their requests. I’ve been putting it this way lately:
    "Uncle Sam WILL get his money!"

    They can audit anything they want to. If problems with your individual return are related to the corporate return, then they’d pretty surely audit that too. They might anyway.

    If you’ve cheated, you are probably toast. If you’ve filed everything honestly, you should be OK.
