Flush with new funding, the IRS zeroes in on the taxes of uber-wealthy Americans
By Daniel de Visé



There has been literally a collapse in audits of high-income taxpayers, big corporations, the wealthy, what have you,” said Susan Long, an associate professor of managerial statistics at Syracuse and co-founder of the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.
 
Fewer tax collectors means fewer audits. In 2022, the IRS audited roughly two of every 1,000 tax returns for middle-income Americans, according to an analysis by a Syracuse University think tank. Audit rates were higher for taxpayers whose incomes were very high, or very low.
