Tax Audit Division

TTB's Tax Audit Division (TAD) is comprised of auditors who verify the proper payment of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and ammunition excise taxes and ensure compliance with laws and regulations by taxpayers in a manner that protects the revenue, protects the consumer, and promotes voluntary compliance.

A full-scope audit includes examination of many areas of a taxpayer's records including general ledgers, inventory and production systems and automated data processing as they relate to compliance with Federal laws and regulations, and the company for compliance with the appropriate sections of the Code of Federal Regulations. TTB auditors also examine internal controls as they relate to the preparation of operating reports and tax returns.
