No, the IRS does not have a policy of auditing your return if you were only covered in January by a HealthCare.gov plan.

 

 

Selection for an audit does not always suggest there’s a problem. The IRS uses several different methods:

  • Random selection and computer screening - sometimes returns are selected based solely on a statistical formula. We compare your tax return against “norms” for similar returns. We develop these “norms” from audits of a statistically valid random sample of returns, as part of the National Research Program the IRS conducts. The IRS uses this program to update return selection information.
  • Related examinations – we may select your returns when they involve issues or transactions with other taxpayers, such as business partners or investors, whose returns were selected for audit.
