Whether you lost your receipts, they were damaged, or you simply don't have them, there are several documents you could use as evidence to answer an IRS audit when you have no receipts: Calendar logs of meetings/travel/daily tasks. Canceled checks. Credit/debit card statements.
The IRS does most business audits in person (the field audit). These audits can be extensive, often considering all aspects of the business and its owner(s). The field audit will look extensively into the business records and accounting system, and conduct tests to determine the accuracy of income.
Not reporting all of your income is an easy-to-avoid red flag that can lead to an audit. Taking excessive business tax deductions and mixing business and personal expenses can lead to an audit. The IRS mostly audits tax returns of those earning more than $200,000 and corporations with more than $10 million in assets.
