For the 2019 tax year, people making up to $25,000 were facing a greater chance of audit rate (0.40%) versus households making between $25,000 and $500,000 (0.17%).
No matter the size of a household’s budget, the increasingly short-staffed and cash-strapped Internal Revenue Service has been conducting fewer audits in recent years — but wealthy households, while generally facing higher rates, have been seeing the sharpest decrease in likelihood of receiving an audit.
“For the 2019 tax year, people making up to $25,000 were facing a greater chance of audit rate versus households making between $25,000 and $500,000 .” Just over 1% of tax returns between $1 million and $5 million were audited in tax year 2019. For tax returns above the $5 million mark, the audit rate was 2.35%. In July 2020, the IRS launched a project to start more audits for the taxpayers at the very top.Another factor impacting working Americans: When taxpayers claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit, which is meant for low- and moderate-income taxpayers, the audit rate climbed on those returns to 0.77% during tax year 2019.
“By early May, a backlog of hard copy returns was down to 1.7 million from 8.2 million at the start of the year, Ken Corbin, the IRS’s chief taxpayer experience officer, told lawmakers Wednesday.”
