The Internal Revenue Service failed to properly audit former President Donald Trump when he was president, according to a report from a House committee that reviewed Mr. Trump’s tax returns.
During Mr. Trump’s presidency, the IRS only audited one of his annual federal income tax returns. That 2016 audit also remained incomplete by the time Mr. Trump left office in January 2021, according to the report from Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee.
The IRS is required to conduct annual tax examinations of sitting presidents.
“The designated agents found that there was only one mandatory audit started and none completed during his four years in office,” the report said.
