Awesome to see the CBO acknowledge the long-term impact of policy on both human capital development and government savings. This aligns with our findings at @PolicyImpacts

Each additional $1 spent auditing high-income taxpayers brings in more than $12 (!) in revenue. Too bad Congress, uhh, just defunded the IRS's efforts to audit high-income taxpayers. wapo.st/3NtqpFm

What are the returns to IRS tax audits? How do they vary across the income distribution? In a new paper🚨, we find that $1 spent auditing high-income taxpayers yields more than $12 in revenue. For an overview, check out @crampell’s coverage 1/: washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Opinion | How much did Congress lose by defunding the IRS? Way more than we thought.

New research finds that for each extra dollar the IRS spends auditing wealthy taxpayers, it can collect more than $12 in return.

New Paper Alert 🚨 We estimate the returns to IRS tax audits across the income distribution. We find $1 of IRS spending on audits of top earners delivers more than $12 of tax revenue. Along the way, we provide new evidence of the strong specific deterrence effects of audits. 1/:

What is your radius of opportunity? Research released today illustrates the access children have to new labor markets depending on their race, income, and where they grew up. Read the new paper here: shorturl.at/eHTW4.
