My experience with tax collectors is that they pursue those owing between 10K-500K intensely.

Once it gets into 7-8 figures, you can VERY easily pay proportionately less than the poor suckers caught in the 10-500K net.

Just curious, how have you come by this experience? Does the irs release full audit rates?

Been in both situations and did a lot of research on what was possible negotiating. There is public information out there which they try to suppress (imagine if the public knew that the guy who owed 10 mill, got away paying 5 mill after years of not paying anything even after the IRS marked them).

Can you point me to the dat? Sounds like a fascinating dataset.

It's not a dataset, remember, they don't want this information out there.
