IRS accused of targeting white, Asian, mixed-race taxpayers with audits under Biden's 'equity action plan'

America First Legal Foundation, a conservative legal group, claimed that Biden's recent executive order reveals that the administration "intends to alter Internal Revenue Service's audit algorithms to target white, Asian, or mixed-race taxpayers," Fox News Digital reported.

According to the AFL, the IRS plans to restructure its auditing practices to target taxpayers by race under the guise of "racial equity."
 

In 2021, Biden signed an executive order titled "Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government," which requested that the federal government prioritize creating a "whole-of-government approach to equity."
