0590 REVIEW GRANTED The commencement of an IRS audit does not start the statute of limitations running on an action for negligence by an accountant in completing the taxpayer's return unless it can be shown that the IRS audit was commenced because of that negligence; such a showing is unlikely because the IRS uses secret formulas in deciding whether to audit a return and so the reason for any particular audit usually remains an "IRS mystery."CitationBOYKIN v COBIN (IRS Audit) 25 CA4 435 [See: CCP 339, 340; Laird v Blacker 2 C4 606]
