Don’t Fall for These 12 Common Tax Myths

MYTH: LOW-INCOME FILERS DON’T GET AUDITED

The IRS is looking for discrepancies, not income. So an audit could happen no matter how low a filer’s income. In fact, people with income under $25,000 are slightly more likely to get audited if they claim an Earned Income Tax Credit, according to the Tax Foundation. People with incomes of between $50,000 and $75,000 had about a 0.47 percent chance of being audited in 2015, and it goes up from there, although for incomes under $200,000, the chances are still only about 1 percent.
