Quote:
In 2006, the IRS conducted around 1.2 million examinations of individuals who earned less than $200,000; last year, there were around 1.3 million of those types of examinations. Still, roughly 90 percent of the 1.4 million IRS audits conducted in 2009 involved persons earning under $200,000. By comparison, the IRS conducted just 28,349 examinations of individuals who earned more than $1 million.

So as long as you are self employed and earned more than $200k/year you are in the clear
Think about it tho, big businesses and the wealthy have the money to hire tax attorneys and accountants to do their taxes, so although they're are probably cheats out there, its a tougher barrier than Joe Blow the home business guy who writes off everything under the sun
