Yeah, I had one -- maybe 20 years ago. Nearly forgot about
it but, in my case, the client had a rather simple return.
Was that ever a blessing.

In those days, they called them TCMP audits -- Taxpayer
Compliance Measurement Program audits.

By all means, DO afford us a blow by blow accounting of the audit.

so much about.

Last time I had one of these, maybe 12 years ago, the auditor/
examiner apologized for having to do it even. What did they call
those back then? Canna remember; time flies when you're having
fun.
