In 2022, the IRS conducted over 300,000 audits, with selection rates increasing dramatically for high-income earners and complex returns. IRS data shows that audit rates increase sharply as income rises. For example, individuals reporting $1 to $5M had an audit rate of about 1.2% to 1.6% while those earning over $10M had an audit rate of about 9.2%. In contrast, small business owners and self-employed individuals encounter even greater scrutiny.
