Gotta wonder how many returns are gonna get run through unauthorized AI tools by IRS employees this year, leaking private financial information into future training sets.

So it goes as planned.

Well Biden increased the IRS budget a lot, when the idiot was re-elected one of the first things he did was cut the IRS budget, took out Biden's increase plus some. This was done to ensure the IRS cannot audit the very rich. That works because the auditing the rich is very expensive and you need highly skilled Auditors for that. So, this is working as planned by Trump.

As usual, anything Trump and his minions touch turns to garbage.

> not going well Maybe working as intended, these are high level HR and IT people being reassigned to grunt work. Probably just another way to get people to resign.
