I can personally attest that I got an audit letter because I didn't report a 1099 for something like $0.17 interest payment. Size/amount was relative to the amount of income required before you have to file, which is around 10K. The context was those who do not file, not those who file and omit some earnings. You got the letter because you filed and didn't include those earnings. Had you earned seventeen cents in interest and only that, you wouldn't have filed and you wouldn't have gotten a letter. Seventeen cents doesn't "trigger their interest" for non-filers.
