The IRS is continuing its historic trend of pursuing more low-income groups as relatively fewer billionaires and millionaires have come under its audit sweep, according to a recent report by Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC).

During fiscal year 2022, millionaires “did have the highest odds of being audited. However, if one ignores the fiction of auditing a millionaire through simply sending a letter through the mail, the odds that millionaires received a regular audit by a revenue agent (1.1 percent) was actually less than the audit rate of the targeted lowest income wage-earners whose audit rate was 1.27 percent!” the report said.
