Meanwhile, a report from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University shows that IRS agents disproportionately audited low-income earners last year.
Individual tax returns of less than $25,000 were audited at a 13.0 rate per 1,000 while all other income brackets combined for a rate of 2.6 per 1000, according to TRAC. Meanwhile, those who earned a total income between $200,000 to $1 million were audited at a rate of 4.5 per every 1,000.
This means that low-income families were targeted for audits five times as often as all other tax brackets. They were also targeted nearly three times as often as high-wage earners that Democrats have claimed they will focus on to increase tax revenue.
