It turns out, according to last year's data, the rate of being audited is incredibly low.
"The odds of being audited were less than 1%. It was 0.38%," Long said.
For millionaires, the rate went up to around 2.38% for those who faced some form of audit last year, Long said.
Americans who made under $200,000 annually faced a 0.19% chance of an audit.
For those making under $25,000, their chance of an audit increased to 1.27%.
Long says her data shows that lower-income Americans are actually more likely to face an audit than those who make more. That is something to consider when it comes to purchasing additional tax protection.
"They have a chance of an audit 5.5 times everybody else," Long added.
It isn't clear what the numbers will look like this tax season, but the IRS is expected to audit more taxpayers as additional staff is put in place.
The agency has hired at least 4,000 additional customer service representatives and has been trying to fill around 500 different job positions to work at the IRS, according to online job postings.
The IRS commissioner did stress, in a letter to Congress last year, that his agency has been following "the Department of the Treasury's directive that audit rates will not rise relative to recent years for households making under $400,000."
