"How Often Does the IRS Double Check Tax Returns?. One of the major stressors at tax time is wondering whether you&#39;ve made a mistake on your return that might come back to haunt you years later.  You can take some comfort in the fact that the Internal Revenue Service only audits about 1 percent of all tax returns each year.  A statute of limitations exists regarding how far back they can go. The bad news is that the IRS can audit you every year if it thinks it has cause &amp;#8211; and if it thinks it has cause, it probably will."
