A quick definition of DIF system:

Term: DIF System

Definition: The DIF system is a method used by the IRS to select tax returns for auditing. It involves using a computer program to identify returns that have a high probability of errors, such as those with a lot of deductible expenses. Then, examiners manually review the selected returns to determine which ones should be audited.

A more thorough explanation:

DIF System

The DIF system, also known as the discriminant function, is a method used by the IRS to select tax returns for auditing. This method involves using a computer program to identify returns that have a high probability of errors, such as those with a disproportionate amount of deductible expenses. The selected returns are then manually reviewed by examiners to determine which ones should be audited.

For example, if a taxpayer claims a large amount of deductions for charitable donations, but their income does not support such a high amount, the DIF system may flag their return for review. Another example could be a business that reports a significant loss for several years in a row, which may trigger the DIF system to select their return for auditing.

These examples illustrate how the DIF system is used to identify tax returns that may have errors or discrepancies that require further examination by the IRS.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
