Is it my right to know why I was selected for examination?

Section 3503 of the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (RRA 98) requires the publication of the general criteria and procedures for selecting taxpayers for examination. If a taxpayer under examination, or his counsel, requests the specific reason the taxpayer was selected for examination, the IRS examiner is required to provide the taxpayer with a response that is as accurate as possible, without revealing restricted use information.
