Manager during IRS Audit

To start things off, I am not being audited. However, my main reason for doing book keeping using something like manager (as opposed to my general ledger spreadsheets I had) was that it seemed like it would support me better during a tax audit from the IRS if that does ever happen (especially because receipts are tied to transactions more clearly). However, having never been audited, I’m not sure how to evaluate whether this is true.

Is anyone with experience having been audited while using Manager.io able to comment on whether the IRS accepted information from the desktop version of Manager? How did you go about providing said information? What information was requested?

Hello @pmaggio,

First of all, I’m not familiar with US tax systems, but I know that for Sales Tax, Manager currently offers the best package.

A big part, as you explained, is due to the linkage of Receipts to Invoices.

But then you have the extensive set of Tax Reports which are very helpful for managing and reviewing of your taxes.

But I don’t think that that would help your case since, if I can recall correctly, Sales Tax falls under state jurisdiction and not the IRS which only care about your income taxes.
