Personally DFAF pay up whoever you are. You may want to white flag it at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally DFAF pay up whoever you are. I think they're auditing people they think they can get the money from the easiest... meaning, quickest with the least effort. If I had to guess, I'd say that the average Joe making less than $200k per year has less accountants and financial experts than the top 12% do. Therefore, I think their fastest way to get the money is to target those people more. If they target 1M people making less than $200k per year, I think they'd find it very easy to average $667 from those people than they would if they targeted the 1M of the 1% to get just $333 (on average), to make up that $1B.

Nope. I think you are spitballing. Why we are doing that wouldnât it make sense that the 1/3 people they busted with higher incomes might perhaps be paying more per audit? In any case. Pay your taxes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
