It means a person is looking at your return. If they decide something may be suspicious, they will ask for documentation. If you reported everything properly, you have nothing to worry about except a delayed refund.

Actually, random audits are 1 to 2 years from now. Any selection for review right now is because the numbers don't look right. That is low income, high withholding, maxed out EIC/ACTC with W-2s from employers you didn't work for in 2010, schedule Cs from construction, babysitting, lawn care, dependents that you say are nieces and nephews that you've never claimed before. Or having a return prepared by a person whose other returns looked funny. The letters for the delay may be 45 days, they may be 60 days, they may drag on for 6 months.

AUDIT!!!
Although the government does do random checking, to ensure that all the programs are working right, and that they are able to catch any errors and cheaters.......which is an internal audit, or your tax returns turned up a red flag, and now it is reviewing it so they will AUDIT you for the red flag (s).

This means that your return is being audited. The IRS will be looking at your entries more closely and will essentially be using a "fine-toothed comb" while doing so. They will be comparing and questioning the data in your income tax return to see if everything is in order.

OH you live in Wisconsin, yep now it makes sense. The audit letter should be in the mailbox soon.

It means they need to go through the filing more carefully; you are being audited.

It means they're not just going to accept it at face value and will take a detailed look at it. Be prepared to provide proof of the figures you have entered.

They are going to go over it carefully, instead of slopping over them as usual. If you made a mistake they will find it, if you are owed a refund it is going to take longer to get it.
