The IRS doesn't need an agent to catch you.
Most tax returns are filed electronically, which means a computer already has your numbers.
When they don't match what your employer or bank reported, the system flags it automatically.
No human judgment required.
People assume tax mistakes slip through the cracks.
But there are no cracks anymore.
It's not enforcement, it's just automation.
Save this as a reminder that the system doesn't need to be watching you to catch you. π
