The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced that, thanks to a new funding boost, it’s launching a “sweeping, historic” tax enforcement initiative using artificial intelligence and other cutting-edge technologies to catch tax evaders more effectively.

“There is a sea change taking place at the IRS in every aspect of our operations,” IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said in a Sept. 8 statement, which notes that the tax agency has completed a top-to-bottom review of its enforcement efforts and is girding to catch people “abusing the nation’s tax laws,” thanks in part to cutting-edge tech.

While the IRS’ new enforcement plan makes no mention of additional staffing, the $60 billion in extra funding has already bolstered the IRS’ ranks substantially, with hiring up around 13 percent over the past year, hitting a decade-high of nearly 90,000 employees.

As I recall — this should read 90,000 ARMED employees — remember back about 10 years ago when it was discovered that the IRS was purchasing MILLIONS of bullets for no apparent reason. From 2010 through 2017 (continued to at least 2022) , the IRS has spent an average of $675,000 on ammunition a year, the report shows. During that time, the IRS spent the most in 2011, with $1,100,000 in spending. Why does Internal Revenue need it’s own military force??
