Since the predicted amount of itemized deductions is significantly greater than the actual claimed itemized deductions, the agent's request for an audit appears to be justified. Since the predicted amount of itemized deductions is significantly greater than the actual claimed itemized deductions, the agent's request for an audit does not appear to be justified. Since the predicted amount of itemized deductions is roughly the same as the actual claimed itemized deductions, the agent's request for an audit does not appear to be justified.
