The IRS hasn't had a budget in many years now. Congress passes emergency reauthorizations every year that's just enough to keep the lights on, but does not allow for any kind of long-term planning or upgrades. I'd imagine that, if they do have crazy systems like this, they'd love to get rid of them but can't.

Considering everything we've seen so far, my confidence that Trump's appointees will actually live up to their smash-the-system claims, and not just be more crony capitalists, is quite low.
