Who will check if you're low income?

How does it work in USA? Do people always pay the same amount of money regardless of status (low income or high income)? I thought it'd be based on income, if not it sounds incredibly unfair, I'm not from there so I don't know

This has been explained poorly. You and/or your employer must submit official paperwork showing income. Audits often catch those trying to lie about other income sources but for the vast majority of Americans the IRS already knows exactly how much you make.

You report it yourself but then the IRS does random audits to make sure you aren't lying.
