Neil, I think that once they schedule you for an audit you have to just go to the appointment and they deal with it there. But, if you've got it all figured out, you probably don't have to worry about much.

If you have an audit notice that has the local person your case is assigned to, maybe you should give 'em a call. If you can file an amended return, then fine. But then they might just scrutinize that one and audit you anyway, a few months later.

(And, remember those auditors deal with a-holes ALL DAY LONG, so laughs and smiles go a looooong way. My last audit lasted and hour and 5 minutes, even though they ask you to allow 3-4 hours.)
