I went through this last year. Yes they will call you to set up an audit.
They called me first then the audit went on for eight months. At the first meeting I was nervous as hell and they said according to thier records I owed an additional 127,000.00 ontop of what i already paid and I was gut-shot. I was very nice to them and they were nice to me. I gave them all the info they wanted and we ended up settling for 16,000.00 and i could not write the check fast enough.

I would not wish an audit on anyone. Hope it goes okay.

Damn you D13, you beat me to it. When I read Zigga's post I though about him trying to write off that run down historical barn as a rental.
Zigga, a little sunshine for you. They called my Father-in-law for a audit about 15 years ago. After everything was done the Feds payed him an additional $ 3,000.00.
My Father-in-law made the comment that he loved the audit and would they do it again the next year. They never called him again.

Lol 13'r, I remember that thread very well. Red flags popped up all over the place, including maybe, the IRS 
As long as they are busy with Zigga, one less agent to be busy with me.
I went thru an audit about 15 yrs ago. I was pretty concerned because of my then firewood service on the side but none of that came up and all the other records, a rental i had with major write-offs, were in order so i paid -0- extra. Don't worry Zigga, they are a breeze!!!

a little joke to cheer you up....
The IRS decides to audit Grandpa, and summons him to the IRS office.
The IRS auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney.
The auditor said, 'Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, Which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure the IRS finds that believable.'
I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it,' says Grandpa. 'How about a demonstration?'
The auditor thinks for a moment and said, 'Okay. Go ahead.'
Grandpa says, 'I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.'
The auditor thinks a moment and says, 'It's a bet.'
Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor's jaw drops.
Grandpa says, 'Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.'
Now the auditor can tell Grandpa isn't blind, so he takes the bet.
Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye..
The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Grandpa's attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous.
'Want to go double or nothing?' Grandpa asks 'I'll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.'
The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there's no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again.
Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor's desk.
The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win.
But Grandpa's own attorney moans and puts his head in his hands.
'Are you okay?' the auditor asks.
'Not really,' says the attorney. 'This morning, when Grandpa told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and pee all over your desk and that you'd be happy about it!'
Don't Mess with Old People!!

LAST EDITED ON Feb-01-10 AT 08:49PM (MST)[p]going through my 2nd audit in 4yrs this coming monday the 8th! I can't wait!...NOT Last time they said we owed over $8K in additonal taxes. We came out with a $450 refund! Guess will see what happens this time. I did find a mistake I made and I think its what threw the "red flag" for this audit...I get several 1099 forms from Banks and I didnt put one in from Wells Fargo which was a considerable amount of money. BUT they hadnt sent it to me until March and it was suppose to be mailed before Jan 31st! So its not really my fault except I didnt pay the taxes on it! One thing they do is go through everything with a fine tooth comb! I was in there for over 8hrs the first time...
Good Luck...your gonna need it!

PS oh and be nice when they call. the guy next to me getting audited was being a jerk...and for that the auditor wasn't giving him any leeway. The person that called will be the person you will do the audit with so I would BE NICE and they will be the same. They have the power to make your life hell and "request other yrs to be audited" just because they feel your someone that would maybe cheat on your taxes! Just my 2 $$$

Got hit this year. Those dumb asses said we owed them $5,500 due to the fact that we deducted too much for payed intrust in 2007. What a bunch of retards. Their numbers were all off and when we showed them their errors, they didn't even apologize for being dumb asses. We didn't owe anything. some times I think they do that just to see if they can get you to pay the money without a fight to screw you out of more of your hard earned money.
Zigga, just tell them you like wolves and they'll identify with you because they're predators too! just kidding.
Treat them with the utmost respect and be nice to them because they have more power than any entitiy in our government, if you rub them the wrong way. If you cooperate and aren't trying to scam them they work with you, BUT if they see that you're trying to take advantage it can easily turn the other way and they have the power and it will cost you big time. Then just to prove a point they'll audit you for the previous two years and then to add insult to injury your state tax department will find out and you usually get audited from the state (they work together on this). Mistakes happen on many returns and can go both ways but if you made an error admit it and move on. Writing off your barn may wind up costing you in the end, it more than likely triggered your audit.

Zigga:
As much as you can get on my nerves, I will give you some free
advice.
Absolutely, by no means, do not meet with them by yourself. The best thing you can do is invite your Bean Counter to assist you during this so called "audit".
Even better, tell the agent you would be happy to meet with them
at the office of your Accountant. Getting mad only adds fuel to the fire and makes you look more guilty.
Good luck!!
