taxpayers' nightmare

It's the word every U.S. tax-payer dreads: audit. An unlucky number of us will get that most unwelcome call from the IRS; it's a small percentage, to be sure, but statistics don't matter if you're the one that the goverment's bearing down on. It makes sense, then, to take a moment to peruse this "surviving an audit" guide from Kiplinger.com. You'll find a list of simple steps to follow ("be courteous" and "be tight-lipped," for instance), along with explanatory comments from accountants and IRS agents. Short and sweet, this piece will give you confidence that you have the power to take on The Man at his own game--and win.
