That would mean that lower-income people would be investigated much more frequently than a multi-billionaire. Which is currently the case - harassing a lower-income family over a $500 or $1k difference is an open-and-shut case, the lowest of the lowest hanging fruit. Going after a billionaire is much harder, more time consuming, and definitely costly, even if the potential payout is orders of magnitude higher.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoyes, this is what I am proposing. If the IRS can catch 100 X $1K errors in an hour, they should do this instead of spending 100 hours to catch a 10k error. That is to say, the top priority should be getting the most money back for the tax payer, and Not fighting a culture war that assumes poor = good person and rich = bad person.
