The IRS examines the records of PTAs on a random sampling basis. The notification of an IRS audit of the PTA records will include a list of items that must be made available. If a PTA letter of determination is required, the state office will furnish a copy upon request.
Do not make any implicit, explicit, oral or written statements or accusations.
A notification of intention to audit from the IRS should not be cause for panic. All PTA financial records should be kept up-to-date so that an audit can be conducted without a problem. If contacted for an IRS audit, notify the district and California State PTA treasurers. After the audit is completed, provide the district and California State PTA treasurers with the results.
