IRS Examination vs Auditing

MAybe it means that they are reviewing your return closer to see if your numbers add up v/s an audit where you sit down with someone to review your return. I'm still waiting for my 07 tax refund and my 07 stimulas check.

Nope. An examination is the same as an audit.

You should have received both of those unless the IRS has notified you of some problem. It is way past time.
