What triggers audits?
❌ Disproportionate deductions
❌ Missing or incomplete receipts
❌ Home office without documentation
❌ Meals with no business purpose noted
❌ Vehicle expenses without mileage log

The IRS requires “contemporaneous records” — documentation created WHEN the expense happened, not reconstructed months later.
Reconstructed records = red flag 🚩

What audit-proof documentation looks like:
✓ Receipt photo
✓ Date/time stamp
✓ Amount & merchant
✓ Business purpose
✓ Category
Missing any of these = deductible denied

Every receipt you scan NOW is audit protection LATER.
