Why Does The Internal Revenue Service Target Gas Stations For Tax Audits?
The service station has historically been the type of business where most of the income and many of the expenses are paid in cash.
As such, the normal audit trail is more difficult to follow than other businesses with tighter internal controls. Sometimes no records are maintained or they are kept sporadically and in a disorganized manner. For these situations, the Internal Revenue Service has developed some alternative approaches to computing income for a service station under audit.
In a state that has sales tax you can work through your Federal and State contacts to get gross sales information. For example, the California State Board Of Equalization provides information for California service stations.

Internal Revenue Service Auditors Will Definitely Review The Following To Determine If You Have Other Potential Sources Of Income-
Do you have / offer any of these services?
- Licensing For State Inspections
Internal Revenue Service Audit Agents know to look for the following:
- Location and Sales - A good location site will have a high volume of sales.
- Sites that have a beer and wine license will sell much more merchandise than without the license
- Are cars for sale at the location?
- Motor Vehicle Records - determine local or state procedures for securing this information
- Be alert to any other service station(s) owned in whole or in part as an individual, partner, and/or shareholder.
- Real Estate Records - for real estate sales and purchases. Contact collection employees for the best source of this information.
- Check the current selling prices and note variances between prices of gasoline at the taxpayer's station and other stations in the area.
- How many pumps? What are the grades of product being sold and are there any other types of products such as diesel fuel, propane, or blending products?
- Have internal controls been addressed? Are the internal controls currently in place the same as during the year under audit?
- TECS - (Treasury Enforcement Communication System) money declared with Customs when taken in or out of the country selectively
