IRS to Increase Audit Rates of Wealthy Taxpayers by 50 Percent

Paul Bois 2 May 2024

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has said it will increase its audit rates of wealthy taxpayers and large corporations by 50 percent.

The IRS will reportedly be using funds allotted to it under the Inflation Reduction Act, which President Biden signed into law in 2022.

“The audit rate of taxpayers earning more than $10 million is expected to increase by 50%, going up from 11% in 2019 to 16.5% in 2026,” reported CNN.

“The IRS also plans to triple the audit rates of large corporations with assets over $250 million, as well as increase the audit rates of business partnerships with assets over $10 million by tenfold over the seven-year period,” it added.

The IRS, however, clarified that it does not expect the audit rates to actually exceed the numbers reached in 2010  “because the number of filings by large corporations, partnerships and wealthy individuals have grown and become more complex.”

Republicans believe the IRS will likely be using this expansion and funding to penalize middle-class Americans. IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said the agency will leave Americans earning less than $400,000 annually alone.

ERO San Francisco removes Mexican fugitive wanted for homicide

SAN FRANCISCO — Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) San Francisco removed an unlawfully present foreign fugitive to his home country of Mexico April 24. He was wanted by Mexican law enforcement authorities for homicide and attempted homicide.

David Antonio Hernandez Ventura, 26, departed from McFarland and arrived at the San Ysidro Port of Entry, where he was handed over to authorities from Mexico.

“I am proud of the work ERO San Francisco officers do on a daily basis to keep the streets of our communities safe,” said ERO San Francisco Field Office Director Moises Becerra.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Border Patrol agents encountered Hernandez when he attempted to enter the United States without being admitted by an immigration officer under the alias Ruben Sanchez-Ignacio. He was removed under the Title 42 authority March 30, April 1 and April 8, 2021.

Anti-borders activists are now running U.S. border security
Commentary

By Matt O’Brien and Tom Homan

Michelle Brané is an anti-borders extremist. Her entire career has been dedicated to undermining America’s immigration laws and interfering with efforts to secure America’s borders. She has characterized U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as “abusive” and has been a vocal advocate for defunding the agency. The bulk of her employment history consists of jobs with organizations that oppose any reasonable immigration enforcement.

If you think Brané sounds like an incredibly poor choice to make decisions about who ICE should and should not detain, you would be correct. Nevertheless, the White House has chosen her to be the Department of Homeland Security’s immigration detention ombudsman.

In her new job, Brané will “assist individuals with complaints about the potential violation of immigration detention standards or other misconduct by DHS (or contract) personnel and provides oversight of immigration detention facilities.” Given her publicly and frequently expressed bias against any type of immigration enforcement, how often do you think she’s going to find in favor of ICE?

This recent hire continues the Biden administration’s series of controversial job picks. For instance, Tucson, Arizona, police chief Chris Magnus was selected to serve as the commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, despite (more likely because of ) his advocacy of sanctuary city policies. Magnus instructed his department not to cooperate with ICE or the Border Patrol. He eventually proved so incompetent at his job that even the White House had to acknowledge his shortcomings and accept his resignation.
