#IRS hopes to replace fired enforcement workers with #AI
#TreasurySecretary Scott #Bessent stating that smarter IT and the "AI boom" will offset reductions in revenue enforcement staff.
"IRS already uses AI for business functions including operational efficiency, compliance and fraud detection, and taxpayer services," the agency told The Register. "AI use cases must follow all relevant IRS privacy and security policies."

The Register · IRS hopes to replace fired enforcement workers with AIVon Brandon Vigliarolo

hope people realize that #ICE, the federal law enforcement agency comprised mostly of people who failed out of becoming police or other law enforcement, now has a budget that is ~50% bigger than all the rest of federal law enforcement (#FBI, Bureau of Prisons, #DEA, Marshals, #ATF, #SEC, #IRS, etc) put together.

the unaccountable guys in the masks who abduct people off the street are now probably the best funded law enforcement agency in the history of the world, maybe other than China's internal police.

Ora se não há real progressividade nos impostos, como é que as classes trabalhadora e média não se hão-de queixar dos impostos? É urgente corrigir as disparidades na tributação fiscal em Portugal. Se vocês se queixam da fraca qualidade dos serviços públicos, esta é a única e exclusiva razão!

"Portugal é o 3º país da OCDE com maior diferença entre a taxa efetiva aplicada aos salários e a que é aplicada aos dividendos. Esta diferença beneficia fundamentalmente os mais ricos: permite-lhes optar por uma taxa liberatória mais baixa do que aquela que pagariam se os rendimentos de capital fossem tributados segundo a mesma progressividade que se aplica aos do trabalho, como é explicado num estudo do economista Alexandre Mergulhão para a associação Causa Pública.

Além disso, focando no IRS, há um conjunto de benefícios fiscais que introduzem distorções na progressividade. O regime dos residentes não-habituais é o mais conhecido: com esta benefício, os trabalhadores estrangeiros qualificados podiam pagar apenas 20% de IRS e os pensionistas estrangeiros pagavam 0% ou 10%. O regime foi recentemente substituído pelo IFICI (Incentivo Fiscal à Investigação Científica e Inovação), que continua a oferecer uma taxa de IRS de 20% a estrangeiros ou a portugueses que tenham emigrado e regressem para exercer profissões consideradas “qualificadas”, em que se incluem gestores de empresas, diretores de serviços, médicos ou investigadores universitários, ou seja, profissões em que se pagam salários muito acima da média.

Não é, por isso, surpreendente que estes benefícios tenham um impacto orçamental significativo. Portugal é o segundo país da UE onde a receita fiscal abdicada tem maior peso, de acordo com um estudo do Observatório Fiscal da União Europeia."

(Apparently, per #Noem, #IRS agents have been there in person working to determine what groups are organizing the #protests in the city! Normal stuff!) She then said that the #NationalGuard & #DHS were working to “make every single community great again & safe again” before lamenting that the people of #LA were “suffering” “under the policies of Governor Newsom & under the policies of Mayor Bass.”

The statement said the quiet part out loud: the #military was there to “liberate” a city from its democratically elected governor & mayor.(It was also not entirely clear what “burdensome” actions she was referring to.)

Leading up to this moment in the press briefing, #KristiNoem spent several minutes thanking the #NationalGuard, #FBI, local #LawEnforcement & the #IRS (??) for their efforts on the ground in #LA.

Nomura Securities has withdrawn its forecast for a Bank of Korea rate cut this year, now expecting the policy rate to remain unchanged until early next year, with the terminal rate revised up to 2.25% amid concerns over real estate risks and a cautious monetary stance.

In April, The AP reported that the #IRS planned to cut as many as 20,000 staffers — up to 25% of the workforce. An #IRS representative on Thursday confirmed the IRS had shed about that many workers but said the cuts amounted to approximately the same number of IRS jobs [necessarily] added under the #Biden admin.

Democratic lawmakers have also written to #BillyLong & his associated firms detailing concerns with what they call unusually timed contributions made to Long’s defunct 2022 #Senate campaign committee shortly after #Trump nominated him.

The #IRS faces an uncertain future under Long. #Tax experts have voiced concerns that the 2026 filing season could be hampered by the departure of so many tax collection workers.
