"Last year the IRS auditedAmericans earning less than $25,000 a year at five times the rate of other groups."
By Ron Johnson


The March 8, 2022, TRAC analysis says the "IRS accomplished over 650 thousand audits last year by jacking up its already high reliance on ‘correspondence audits’ — essentially a letter from the IRS asking for documentation on a specific line item on a return. All but 100,000 of the 659,000 audits were conducted with these letters through the mail." Indeed, in the 2021 fiscal year, that sort of audit accounted for 85% of all audits, up from about 80% in the previous two years.
