"No discernible difference for CP2000 letters which are simply matching amounts to reported amounts."

Like taking amounts from the wrong lines, turning positives into negatives, regarding the negatives as positives and claiming that some nonexistant income came from odd jobs? Looks more like some influence from *outside* of an office somehow getting into that office.

And folks, look at the location of that office (not the office publicized in vulgar political speech). Who stands to make money from such activity? [Hint: not the un-professionals.]

A large part of doing tax returns is anticipating what the IRS computer is going to do with the information they receive to avoid mis- matching. I will often report on wrong line and then back out and put it on right line because that is what IRS is looking for.

Also, much more inclined to pull transcripts on clients who have terrible records to avoid mismatches before filing return.
