   The IRS Data Book is the official annual statistical summary of IRS operations. Of the 505,514 total audits closed, 444,014 were individual income tax returns (the remainder were employment, estate, gift, and excise tax returns). Dividing 444,014 by 161.1 million individual returns gives an examination rate of approximately 0.28%. This rate has been declining for over a decade due to staffing reductions. At the peak in FY 2010, the IRS examined about 1.7 million individual returns per year, roughly 1.1% of filings.

   The IRS Data Book is compiled from the IRS's own administrative records of examinations completed. It is the primary upstream data source for GAO and Congressional Research Service analyses.

   Tax Compliance: Trends of IRS Audit Rates and Results for Individual Taxpayers by Income

   Thống kê

   IRS audit rates for individual taxpayers declined across all income levels from 2010 to 2019; audit rates for higher-income taxpayers decreased more steeply — the $10 million+ bracket fell from 21.2% (TY2010) to 3.9% (TY2019), an ~81% drop

   Trích đoạn

   “"For more than 15 years, IRS audit rates have been steadily declining. IRS officials said audit rates declined due to staffing decreases and because it takes more staff time and expertise to handle complex higher-income audits." ”

   The GAO report provides historical context for the declining audit trend. In FY 2010, the IRS examined about 1.1% of individual returns; by FY 2019, that rate had fallen to roughly 0.4%. The continued decline to ~0.28% in FY 2024 reflects further staffing losses despite Inflation Reduction Act funding. The GAO report also documents that audit rates are not uniform: returns under $25,000 and over $500,000 are audited at higher rates than the middle, creating a U-shaped distribution by income. The decline is steepest at the very top: returns reporting $10 million or more in income were audited at 21.2% in tax year 2010, falling to 3.9% by tax year 2019 — an ~81% drop, considerably steeper than the population-wide decline over the same period.

   GAO is an independent congressional agency that audits and evaluates federal programs. Its analysis draws on IRS data but applies independent methodology to examine trends and outcomes.
