Whatever you think of the IRS, they aren't the master of their own destiny: https://www.propublica.org/article/how-the-irs-was-gutted https://www.propublica.org/article/how-the-irs-was-gutted (2018) > An eight-year campaign to slash the agency’s budget has left it understaffed, hamstrung and operating with archaic equipment.
