He mentioned that the audit rate for taxpayers earning under $400,000 could increase in the coming years, despite previous promises to avoid targeting middle-income Americans. The IRS's focus on high-income earners and corporations was well-publicized, but Werfel’s comments indicate a possible broadening of enforcement efforts.
