There are roughly 360 million people in the U.S, which I'm guessing translated into 150(ish) million tax returns submitted each year (not considering corporate tax returns.) Wikipedia lists 75,000 IRS employees. On those (very) rough numbers, that averages 2,000 tax returns per employee.
Does the IRS look over (even briefly) every return that gets submitted to make sure it looks right, or do they only look at those that are chosen for audits? Are the rest then counted as "handed in" and refunds given out based on what's listed?
In short, what happens to my tax return after I submit it to the IRS?
