The Real IRS Audit Triggers: Why Patterns Matter More Than Write-Offs

Aubree Denekamp (“The Write Off Queen”) explains that IRS enforcement focuses less on small deductions and more on inconsistent financial patterns and data mismatches. She outlines five real-world scenarios that draw attention: inconsistent year-to-year reporting despite similar revenue, lifestyle spending that doesn’t align with reported income (including unreported side income, K-1s, crypto, and cash deposits), “sloppy LLC” bookkeeping with unreconciled books and mixed personal/business spending, claiming powerful tax credits without documentation or methodology, and margin collapse where revenue rises but profits vanish without a clear business explanation. She urges entrepreneurs to stop fearing legitimate write-offs and instead prioritize clean books, monthly reconciliation, documentation, consistent margin logic, and proper structure, emphasizing that optimization is legal but chaos is suspicious. She closes by teasing a future episode about interviewing 100 entrepreneurs and asking an uncomfortable money question.
