Will anybody be working at the IRS to flip the switch in January?

The MEF shutdown this year will include an AI enhancement.

There will be an announcement forthcoming on Truth Social

”We are announcing a very very good change at the IRS this year. You will no longer be required to file tax returns. The IRS, at my direction, will simply go into your accounts and extract the appropriate amount. This will save trillions for the American taxpayers. Thank you.”

If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround

I think Intuit is accepting e-file returns until December 22, 2025.  You know, to just make sure that they have time to get them submitted to the IRS.
