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.
I haven't filed yet. Maybe some prompt injection in my 1040 will work some magic.
So it goes as planned.
"Government doesn't work, elect us and we'll prove it!"

It's tragic how well this fucking strategy keeps working in this country.

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.

> “I know I’ve heard from a lot of people that this is low-grade work. ‘It’s not what I need to be doing,’” Ziegler said, according to the transcript. “I need you guys to think about this from a different perspective.”

> He said employees should approach their assignments “from a different mindset of, ‘how am I gonna do my job to the best of my abilities, because that’s what I want to do for the agency that I love: the IRS.’”

Ziegler should get his butt into the seat and process returns. Since he makes about 2270x's the salary of these people, he should be able to get through about 2270 returns in the same time it takes them to do one.
