ChatGPT Turned My Audit Into a Payday. IRS Is Pissed.
The letter came in February. “Your 2023 return has been selected for examination.”
IRS audit. The two words that destroy lives.
They claimed I owed $23,000. Had 30 days to respond.
Instead of hiring a $500/hour tax attorney, I fed everything to ChatGPT.
What ChatGPT software found: IRS owed ME $47,000.
Check arrived yesterday. Photo proof below.
The IRS agent called it “impossible.” My bank account says otherwise.
ChatGPT : The Audit Letter That Started Everything
February 14th. Valentine’s Day. IRS showing love.
“Dear Taxpayer, discrepancies found in your 2023 return:
- Unreported 1099 income: $67,000
- Disallowed deductions: $34,000
- Additional tax owed: $23,000
- Plus penalties and interest: $31,000 total”
My options:
- Pay immediately
- Hire tax attorney ($15K retainer)
- Represent myself (suicide)
- Try ChatGPT (fuck it)
Chose option 4.
How ChatGPT Dissected 3 Years of Tax Returns
Fed ChatGPT everything:
- 3 years of tax returns
- Every 1099, W-2, K-1
- All bank statements
- Every receipt
- IRS audit letter
ChatGPT’s first response: “The IRS made 17 calculation errors.”
What.
Asked for details. ChatGPT found:
- Double-counted 1099 (same income, two forms)
- Missed $34K in quarterly payments I made
- Ignored carryforward losses from 2021
- Misclassified business expenses as personal
- Failed to apply proper depreciation
But then ChatGPT found something huge.
The $47,000 Mistake IRS Made in My Favor
ChatGPT noticed something odd in 2021 returns.
“You qualified for the Recovery Startup Credit but didn’t claim it. The IRS owes you $47,000 plus interest.”
Recovery Startup Credit:
- For businesses started after Feb 15, 2020
- Up to $50K credit available
- Most people didn’t know about it
- IRS didn’t advertise it
ChatGPT calculated:
- Base credit: $47,000
- Interest (3 years): $4,200
- Total owed to me: $51,200
The IRS audit triggered my ability to amend. They played themselves.
The Response Letter ChatGPT Wrote That Shocked the IRS
ChatGPT drafted my response:
“Dear Internal Revenue Service,

Sent certified mail. Waited.
The IRS Agent Who Couldn’t Believe It
March 20th. Phone call from IRS.
Agent Thompson: “Sir, we’ve reviewed your response.” Me: “And?” Thompson: “How did you find these errors?” Me: “Careful review.” Thompson: “You found mistakes our systems missed.” Me: “Apparently.” Thompson: “The Recovery Credit… how did you know?” Me: “Research.” Thompson: “We… we actually owe you money.” Me: “When can I expect the check?” Thompson: “This is highly unusual.” Me: “Is it wrong?” Thompson: “No… it’s correct. All of it.” Me: “So?” Thompson: “Check will be issued within 45 days.”
The silence before he hung up was delicious.
