Without requested funds, the IRS says it will only be able to answer 16% of calls during next year’s tax filing season, and only 11% of all calls in FY 2026.

    They have access to pretty much all the data as we become a surveillance state. It would be stupid not to.

      I’m not in love with sacrificing privacy for the sake of tax preparation though.
