A slight exaggeration may get you audited by the IRS.

A new software program is being used to compare taxpayer returns and weed out any red flags.

Some of these red flags include: Taking deductions too high in relation to your income; withdrawing early from a retirement account; or having too many business expenses..

It's important to keep a record of everything to back up your returns and avoid getting flagged by the IRS.
