In this video, tax expert Karlton Dennis explains the odds that people making under $300,000 per year in America have of being audited by the IRS. Most Americans have annual incomes under this amount. So, this video will apply to the vast majority of the American tax base.

So, this video is also beneficial for people who want to know what they can do to reduce their IRS audit risk. *Disclaimer: I am not a financial advisor nor am I an attorney.
