  They don't "target" anyone. Lower income people getting audited more comes mostly from two things: lower income people are more likely to add things to their returns that get them flagged, and the IRS being underfunded for almost two decades has led to them not being able to hire/keep more highly trained agents that can process more complicated returns. However, even if you fix number two, number one will still mean they'll get audited more, just to a lesser extent.
context: "Yellen told Reuters that she was thrilled that Congress had approved $80 billion in new funding to help the agency reduce a huge backlog of tax returns and better hunt down $600 billion in unpaid tax bills." >

  "The law also includes about $270 billion in tax credits for electric vehicles, home solar panels and other climate purchases that will be overseen by Treasury, which has made Yellen a pivotal climate figure in President Joe Biden's administration." >

  It should be a failure of duty for them to target the poor over the rich just because it's easier for them
