If your income fluctuates by large amounts from year to year your chances of being audited by the Internal Revenue Service increase.
When the Internal Revenue Service sees these fluctuations (Or more likely when their software notices and flags these income fluctuations) they often suspect that something is wrong.
Once again if your income is fluctuating it is not a big deal; just make sure that you file your tax return correctly and that you keep the required documentation in case of an IRS audit.
