IRS Promises To Audit Black People Less

DEI is at the heart of everything the Biden administration does.

The Internal Revenue Service said Thursday that it has taken steps to address a wide disparity in audit rates between black taxpayers and other filers and is more closely examining the returns of larger numbers of wealthy people and major companies.

A study from January 2023 involving university researchers and the Treasury Department found that IRS data-driven algorithms selected black taxpayers for auditing at up to 4.7 times the rate of non-black taxpayers.

Were the algorithms racist? What possible reason would the algorithms have just selected black people for no apparent reason?

"We have taken swift initial action to dramatically reduce the number of those audits. We have also made changes to the selection criteria for those audits," IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel said.

Werfel told reporters the discriminatory audits "Degrade trust in our tax system."

Does anyone actually trust the tax system? Under political pressure, the IRS will just shift over to targeting the 'right sorts of people' after being previously accused of targeting the 'wrong sort of people.
