IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said Monday that Black taxpayers may be getting audited at significantly higher rates than non-Black taxpayers.
“Our initial findings support the conclusion that Black taxpayers may be audited at higher rates than would be expected given their share of the population,” Werfel wrote to Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.).
A study out of Stanford University that found audit rates could be as much as five times higher for Black taxpayers than white taxpayers. Wyden asked Werfel to investigate the matter after the latter took the helm of the federal tax collection agency earlier this year.

If a group (any group) commits more crimes relative to other groups, then that group should be expected to have higher arrest and incarceration rates.
If a group (any group) commits more fraud relative to other groups, then that group should be expected to have higher IRS rates.
I haven’t noticed a line on my 1040 titled “enter race here”
ow does the IRS know when it decides to look at a return what color the taxpayer is?
Anyway, most audits are desk or computer audits, which are based on obvious mistake on the return.
It's simply not possible, a fat minority don't even file, the rest file EZ and get the EITC and the bennies.
Hmmm... Not once in all my years filing taxes has my race ever been asked.
Let me, first of all, call b.s. on this.
Secondly, if the IRS is this racist, it should be dissolved immediately. Paying taxes is racist.
Doesn’t sound logical. Isn’t it a higher proportion of upper income that is most frequently audited ??
Immigrant from India, filing taxes since 1960
Never audited coz I am an engineer and accurate calculations is my profession.
Taxpayers have no idea what race someone is when they stick an audit code on a return. It’s done purely according to algorithms. Those algorithms totally screw people whose take-home pay is an unusually large portion of their net pay (i.e., priests and ministers). Now, what portion of moderately wealthy black people are former athletes? ministers? Have children by multiple partners? Have businesses with a lot of “under the table” or “off the book” payments? Any of these conditions will make someone much more likely to be audited.
It’s because of the Earned Income Tax Credit. There are more audits because compliance cannot be tested otherwise.
That’s because many have a bad attitude, a sense of entitlement and a general disregard for authority.
I didn’t know pushers and/or mules filed.
Aren’t 1040 and other forms race neutral?
Of course they are.
I must have missed the “Race” checkboxes on the 1040. Do they assume everybody with the first name “Kwamoosi” or last name “Washington” is black?
I doubt it.
“Likely”, “Could be”? Well, what does the actual evidence show?
After women and children first though, right?
Sounds like an excuse to ramp up audits on whitey. Especially conservative whiteys.
