Same happened with me, though technically not an audit, and in my case the IRS didn't actually know the cost basis for the stock sale. I had to tell them, otherwise they assumed 0 and were going to bill me a lot more. So that's why they needed me. Which goes to another stupid thing, for some reason the RSU brokerage doesn't report the cost basis. I guess to make it more annoying to sell company stock.

> or some reason the RSU brokerage doesn't report the cost basis This is because the employer doesn't tell them the cost basis, right?

  Probably. One way or another, my employer wants part of my compensation not to be liquid like money.
