is a report on the addition of hundreds of new agents and offices to track down untaxed 'offshore' money. This has received a great deal of press coverage because the concept of 'taxing the rich' is popular with most Americans. However, less popular but equally important changes at the IRS have escaped most mainstream media attention ...
- the IRS has increased the percentage of audits of small businesses - and particularly those small businesses whose transactions are primarily in cash
- the IRS has established a new targeted enforcement unit for Adult businesses. While this is primarily targeted towards Adult media ( video and websites ) and escort agencies ( the IRS has no qualms about wanting to tax prostitution income ), it also includes strip clubs and, by implication, dancers.
Statistically speaking, in the absence of a 'flag being waved' to attract IRS attention, the probability of a dancer being audited by the IRS is still very close to zero. However, it is NOT zero ... it is higher this year than it was last year. And the potential causes for a 'flag being waved' are higher this year than they were last year.
