Not directly, but certain IRS ranking officials have targeted specific groups in the past for both administrations. However, there is also rampant fraud with the EITC. Similarly with the Child Tax Credit, it is likely because it is refundable, meaning that you receive a check after your taxes are paid rather than a deduction which can only bring your liability down to zero. Also auditing these are fairly trivial and usually only done through the mail so they can send them out en masse based on red flags. > "The IRS estimates that 22 to 26 percent of EITC payments were issued improperly in Fiscal Year 2013. The dollar value of these improper payments was estimated to be between $13.3 billion and $15.6 billion." https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/report-massive-fraud-stil... https://www.eitc.irs.gov/tax-preparer-toolkit/frequently-ask... |
