In the 2019 Taxpayer First Act a bipartisan Congress forbid (or is it forbade) the IRS from creating their own tax software. I believe I read it's Section 2401 but I did not dig deeper. Guess this new plan changes that.
Also in that Act, Section 2102 said that by January, 2023 the IRS must have it's own 1099 platform for preparation, filing and distribution of 1099's. Haven't seen that yet.
Government consolidating more control over tax collections knowing many taxpayer's won't question their notices. Belief in Government is always right. SAD...
How many informational returns did they destroy because they couldn't handle the work? 30 million or so? How long are people on hold when they call them? How many never get a representative or are hung up on? And they're going to be able to handle this? What a joke.
How much did Inflation Reduction Act give them? $80 billion? So another case of "that was then, this is now." And when Congress earmarks some of it for specific projects, they have to spend it on those even though other programs are starved. Of course, the "Defund the Police" crowd also wants to defund the IRS. Oh, wait, those are two different crowds. One of them is rich.
