good, go get em! The IRS says it is about to ramp up audits as it cracks down on tax cheats and seeks to deliver more revenue into the U.S. Treasury's coffers. But not every group of taxpayers will face more scrutiny, according to IRS commissioner Danny Werfel. The IRS has been bolstered by $80 billion in new funding directed by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which was signed into law in 2022 by President Joe Biden. The idea behind the new funding was to help revive an agency whose ranks have been depleted over the years, leading to customer service snarls, processing delays and a falloff in audit rates. The IRS plans to triple the audit rates on large corporations with assets of more than $250 million. Audit rates for these companies will rise to 22.6% in tax year 2026 from 8.8% in 2019.Large partnerships with assets of more than $10 million will see their audit rates increase 10-fold, rising to 1% in tax year 2026 from 0.1% in 2019.Wealthy individuals with total positive income of more than $10 million will see their audit rates rise 50% to 16.5% from 11% in 2019. "There is no new wave of audits coming from middle- and low-income [individuals], coming from mom and pops. That's not in our plans," Werfel said. But by focusing on big corporations, complicated partnerships and wealthy people who earn over $10 million year, the IRS wants to send a signal, he noted.

What are the odds they’ll go after Democrat tax cheats? Zero to none?

My only actual run-in with the IRS was actually...surprisingly pleasant. I owed something like $873 from selling some investments and in a fit of dyslexia I sent in a payment of $837. Then I called to let them know I'd become aware of my error and was sending in the remainder and they were like "meh don't worry about it we'll just forgive it".

Good, as someone that's done taxes for rich people, I can't tell you the sheer amount of meals and entertainment they write off as "business expenses" on their tax returns

Joe Biden’s IRS Goons will mostly go after the middle class. That’s where the money is. Not good in an election year.

The whole point of increasing funding is because they want to go after rich people and corporations, which are more expensive to go after because they can hire expensive lawyers and drag everything out. You people juts love defending the elites you profess to hate so much.

Another reason that Joe Biden is going after the little guy is because it’s easier to squeeze them because they can’t afford to defend themselves with CPAs and Lawyers.
