If you received a CP2000 notice, it\u2019s because the IRS has information about your income from third parties, and this information doesn\u2019t match what you\u2019ve reported on your tax return. Dealing with the IRS in any capacity, however, can still be a difficult and time-consuming process for an individual. An expert like a tax attorney can help you navigate the AUR process and identify and correct any issues before they become major problems for you.<\/p>\n<p><img class='aligncenter' style='display: block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;' src=\"https:\/\/www.bookstime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/file-300x191.png\" width=\"250px\" alt=\"aur control number\"\/><\/p>\n<h2>Cryptocurrency<\/h2>\n<p><img class='aligncenter' style='display: block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;' src=\"https:\/\/www.bookstime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Copy-of-shutterstock_794159299-300x200.jpg\" width=\"257px\" alt=\"aur control number\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Verify information documents \u2013 Before filing each tax year take time to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Adjusting_entries\">adjusting entries<\/a> cross-check arriving 1099s, W-2s and other statements against your own activity records to spot any issuer errors.

The IRS has implemented the AUR unit to try to address this issue. The AUR unit plays a major role in the agency\u2019s efforts to reduce the  tax gap, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/bookstime\/\">Bookstime<\/a> which is the difference between the amount of tax owed and the amount of tax actually paid.
