(CNNMoney.com) — Is the Internal Revenue Service targeting African-American and Hispanic taxpayers? That’s the conclusion of a new study provided exclusively to Fortune titled “IRS Enforcement’s Impact on Minority Communities,” conducted by Thomas M. Evans, CEO of TaxLifeboat, a firm that advises taxpayers on resolving their problems with the IRS. Evans stresses strongly that the disproportionate number of IRS actions against minorities isn’t intentional. Rather, he charges, it’s the result of overly rigid, highly-automated enforcement policies that waste taxpayer money by pursuing low-earners who either can’t pay, or owe virtually nothing.
