Retirees: Worried about the IRS auditing you?

Worried about the IRS auditing you? It’s rare, but it does happen.

Of the tax returns filed in calendar year 2016 — and examined in fiscal year 2017 — the IRS audited nearly 1.1 million, or 0.5 percent of the total.

That low percentage might have you feeling relatively confident about the odds that Uncle Sam will come calling.

Retirees beware of these audit flags . . .
