1. The correct answer is D. 'The right to schedule the audit as many times as the taxpayer or their representative deems necessary.
As given in option A, 'The right to know what they need to do to comply with the tax laws.' is the 'Right to be informed'.
As given in option B, 'The right to receive prompt, courteous, and professional assistance in their dealings with the IRS.' is the 'Right to Quality Service'.
As given in option C, 'The right to know the maximum amount of time they have to challenge the IRS's position.' is the 'Right to Finality'.
Hence, the remaining option D is not the right which is provided to taxpayers under The Taxpayer Bill of Rights.
2. The correct answer is C. 'Audits are designed to discourage taxpayers from claiming tax credits for which they are qualified.'
This is because IRS audit is to ensure information is reported correctly according to the tax laws and to verify the reported amount of tax is correct.
