Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Representative Judy Chu of California asked IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig to explain a rise in audits of those earning less than $25,000, which is at odds with Biden’s policy of not increasing tax examinations for those earning less than $400,000.
The lawmakers referred to recent data from Syracuse University that found that 1.3% of households making less than $25,000 were audited in the 2021 fiscal year -- up from 0.79% the previous year and notably higher than the 0.45% rate for households earning $200,000 to $1 million.
