Nah, I've just worked with them a lot, had job offers from them, and have former colleagues working for them. After all, before my venture in the government sector I did begin my career as a tax accountant. I do actually know something about their methodology in enforcement. If the overall calculated tax bill doesn't reach a certain threshold, they aren't even looking at it for potential errors. It's not worth the effort. And that level puts everyone below upper-middle class out of the running. The only way someone in the lower or middle income brackets would raise red flags is if they paid nothing or if they had a very complicated return (which is not likely for low to middle income earners).
