Warren & Chu Call Out IRS Auditors for Targeting Households Making $25K or Less
By Sharon Zhang


A recent analysis of IRS data by Syracuse University researchers found that low-income households making less than $25,000 a year were audited at five times the rate than all other tax-paying households in fiscal year 2021 and double the rate for fiscal year 2018, when low-income earners were 2.5 times more likely to be audited. Out of every 1,000 tax returns, 13 returns from people earning less than $25,000 were audited, while only 2.6 returns from people making over $25,000 went through an audit.
