[–] socphoenix@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago (2 children) Gotta keep the auditors busy! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago There are like 100 for the whole country. No one gets audited, statistically speaking. It's why you've never learned anything about taxes from your parents or friends. They don't know either. People pay people at HR block who don't know about taxes either to file. No one gets in trouble because the only people who know tax laws work for the very wealthy. Or at the IRS where there are about 100 of them to 300m of us. permalink fedilink source parent [+] audit69@programming.dev 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 child) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DrPop@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 child) I know where you are coming from, but i can assure you the people who are being audited are being audited for a reason. Either it's claiming false dependents or credits they are not entitled to. I've seen people try to claim a $50000 refund but there income is only $5000. What happens is these people go to some random person on the street who says they can get them a bigger refund and they don't question it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] audit69@programming.dev 1 point 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent
