are receipts required by the IRS for all expenses greater than $25.?

They say you don't need to keep receipts for items less than $25, so by default, you do need to keep them when they are over $25.  It is best to keep as much as possible.  Why throw it away?  It is better to have too much than too little.  By the way, you don't send the receipts to the IRS.  You keep them in case of an audit.  Some IRS auditors are more strict than others, but I always tell my clients to claim whatever they paid in legitimate expenses regardless if they have a receipt, a credit card statement, or simply a hand written note of the expense.  Of course, one must make every attempt to keep receipts.

Having been audited 3 times, I can tell you that anything the IRS asks for must come from the source and be notorized if possible.  You can simply ask your bank for print-outs of your back bank statements.  Ask them to include a letter from the Bank that this information is from the bank, not the person being audited!

It has to do with both IRS and Anti-Money Laundering regulations.  All cash transactions over $10,000 or series of transactions which are over $10,000 must be reported to the IRS.

They do ask for receipts on some claims.  Not always, but if it looks suspicious, or if you are claiming a huge amount on a normally average item (i.e. custom golf clubs that you placed a value of $6500.00) they are going to want a receipt.

Only she knows. Maybe, even if she will answer you, what she will declare is the amount that she has declared in the IRS. Whether it is the truth or not, I don't know.

You might make an easier case (if an audit happens) if they put it on the market and it didn't sell for a while then they agreed to sell it to you for more than anyone else would pay.\n\nI don' think there is a limit, just some little rule that will "red flag" it for the IRS. Call a CPA anonymously and ask a quick question. They will most likely answer for free.

It means that the income that is left after taking your  deduction (standard or itemized) and exemptions is taxed at 25% ( you are then paying 25 cents on every dollar that is left)

Don't worry about it.  Honest mistakes of less than $1 don't mean anything.  In fact, when you do your taxes, the IRS likes you to round everything to the nearest dollar.
