The IRS will use it to audit low-hanging fruit, like the Middle Class
Smith 23, House Ways and Means Chairman (Jason, “Chairman Smith Blasts Hollow IRS “Plan” that Fails to Provide Details on How Their $80 Billion Raise Will be Spent,” House Ways and Means, https://waysandmeans.house.gov/chairman-smith-blasts-hollow-irs-plan-that-fails-to-provide-details-on-how-their-80-billion-raise-will-be-spent/)//BB
Audits on Middle Class Families are Still Scheduled to Increase Under This “Plan” Secretary Yellen has misleadingly claimed audit rates won’t increase for middle class taxpayers “relative to historic levels” without explaining what that means – while Treasury and the IRS consistently refer to 2010 audit levels when talking about “historic levels” in other contexts, which is when audit rates were higher for taxpayers at every income level. Secretary Yellen previously confirmed to the Ways and Means Committee the total number of audits on families earning less than $400,000 will rise.
