63% of recent IRS audits directed at $200,000 or less earners?

The question remains...Is 63% an improvement over previous years, the same, or worse?  Is the number trending the right direction or not?

not so sure that matters. Everyone and their mothers claim they are not targeting the middle/lower class, but that's BS. 

It's much cheaper and easier to target those classes because the lack the necessary funds to fight the audits and has been their targets for along time. 


those numbers need to be flipped, they should have at least a 50% audit rate on top earners. I'd prefer even more 60-40 or as high as you can. If they know they have a good shot at being audited, they will start filing correctly. 

The top earners is where the money is, who cares if John Doe screwed them out of $500 when  Mr Bigwig is screwing them out of $1.5 million. 

They recently got $480m off of 1600 millionaires... Think they are going to get that much off of 1600 Middle/Lower Class people? I doubt they even make $100k from going after them.
