deducts most often so if you have something wild and crazy, spent thousands of dollars entertaining clients when you really work from home they'll know. >> be careful with those deductions and also you say be careful with if you round up too much that's a red flag. >> or if you round down. say you owe 5125 and you put 5,000 that's a big red flag because that means you're kind of fudging things so make sure your numbers match and add correctly. the irs says the number one mistake people make, they don't add right. >> what are the odds that somebody really gets audited, the average person? >> the average person it's like 1%. it's 1% but it goes way, way, way up and strangely enough way up if you adopt. odds are over 60% but if you have more than $1 million or business that makes more than $10 million your odds are closer to a quarter or 30%. >> keep track of your records always, have the paperwork handy. >> be neat and if you file online electronically there's
