A Tax Auditor is a professional who examines financial records and tax returns to ensure compliance with tax laws. They work for government agencies, such as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States, and their main goal is to verify that individuals and businesses are accurately reporting their income and paying the correct amount of taxes. During an audit, a Tax Auditor reviews documents, conducts interviews, and analyzes financial data. If discrepancies are found, they may recommend adjustments or penalties. Their work helps maintain the integrity of the tax system and ensures that everyone pays their fair share.
