Taxpayers Ash Why An Audit? You arc a North Carolina taxpayer. There were more than two million of you in 1975. You have just received word from the Internal Revenue Service that your income tax return for last year has been selected for audit. You immediately ask yourself. "Why me? What have I done to deserve this?" You rack your brain for obvious clues. Was it the additional exemption you claimed? You easily rule that out. After all, taking an exemption for the new baby is nothing illegal. Maybe it was the $500 donation you made to the church building fund. But you can prove that. And. you had two outside appraisals made of the furniture you donated to the Salvation Army. No problem there. Your total interest payments nearly tripled during last year. Why shouldn't they? You purchased a new house. You have exhausted all reasonable explanations. It must be a mistake. That's it. The IRS computer picked your return by mistake. IRS tells you the computer did have something to do with your return being selected for audit. The system is called die Discriminant Function, or DIP. to detect returns with the greatest erior potential. It doesn't mean you are dishonest. After years of research, die IRS now is able to determine the significance of each return characteristic as it relates to the frequency of error. The DIF process simply involves assigning numeric weights to tax return characteristics which have been identified as indicators of error. Returns with die highest sum of these weights, or die highest score, are then picked by die computer. All high income returns are automatically screened; some returns are selected for audit at random, while others are selected because the taxpayer failed to supply sufficient information with the return about some items of income or deduction. Vou check your records from last year's return. You have cancelled checks, expense vouchers and other proof to verify items claimed on your return. Your sense of concern subsides and you feel that you can go into the audit with confidence. Farm Chief Unconcerned About Wheat The president of the N.C. Farm Bureau Federation discounted concern the sale of American wheat to Russia will affect food prices, according to a statement last week. "The announced sales of 3.5 million metric tons of wheat to the Soviet Union will have little, if any, impact on consumer prices." John Sledge said. "On the basis of July 1 conditions, the U.S. wheat crop is estimated at 2.2 billion bushels, a 22 percent increase over last year's record crop." he said. Sledge termed the sales "very small." adding that even a larger sale would be "within our capability." The farm leader described domestic needs as approximately 800 million bushels, with 75 to 80r/r of the wheat crop exported.
