As far as I can unscientifically discern, i.e. based on personal experience and anecdotal observations in my provincial neck of the woods, very, very few taxpayers have had their returns examined in the last five years.  There are exceptions, of course -->

Now if Biden did direct the Service to perform unnecessary exams, no one got the memo around these parts.  However, in this child's opinion, unnecessary audits had been performed with regularity since long before Grandpa Joe stole the election.  Humphreys County, one of the poorest counties in Mississippi, has the highest per capita audit rate.  It's ground zero for EITC audits because the IRS is convinced that a high rate of low income folks in the County are claiming more EITC than the rules say they are entitled to.  So what if they are?  How many millions of dollars are being stolen from the Treasury by these poverty-stricken folks??  For Pete's sake, the EITC is capped!

Now imagine if instead of sending a platoon of RAs into Humphreys County to claw back a few bucks, the same agents were instructed to mail out multipage IDRs to addresses of the wealthiest 1% (whose audit rate is piteously low).  I wonder which of the efforts would claw back the most dollars?  C'mon peeps, the DOGE teens had all this figured out before they arrived in D.C.
