IRS Algorithms

by

Monday February 20, 2023 – This space has been pointing out that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is planning to devote its increased budget to machine learning and data analytics, rather than hiring thousands of new revenue agents.

This shift towards the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in making IRS decisions less transparent, as AI algorithms can be difficult or impossible to understand and their decisions are often cloaked in bureaucratic secrecy.

To protect American taxpayers Congress must insist on IRS algorithmic accountability. This includes publicizing pre-existing data sets used to train the algorithm, making available a detailed explanation of the algorithm’s rules and how it makes decisions, and providing a mechanism for taxpayers to challenge algorithms that appear to be arbitrary or unfair. Further, any AI decision made by the IRS should include some form of human review and oversight.

The use of artificial intelligence in government is unavoidable. However, it is essential that taxpayer rights remain paramount and that any AI decision has sufficient safeguards to protect them from being harmed by rogue algorithms. By increasing transparency and oversight of the IRS’s use of AI, Congress can ensure that taxpayers are not unfairly targeted or harmed by misguided algorithms.

Attorney Steven A. Leahy looks at AI algorithms and IRS decision-making on Today’s Tax Talk.

AI & IRS – Beware!

by

Wednesday February 1, 2023 – As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to improve, the federal government is making great strides towards keeping up with the ever-increasing speed of change. This includes the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The IRS is undergoing a computing revolution in which artificial intelligence and other software advancements will be implemented. These advances will drastically change how the IRS operates, allowing them to monitor income transactions more closely than ever before, bringing with it an increased chance of audits or penalties if you fail to follow their regulations.

Business owners need to stay ahead of these changes, familiarizing themselves with current regulations and preparing for any future updates that may come their way. Even if you follow all the rules now, it’s possible that you could get caught off guard by new technology-driven policies that you were unaware of before. It pays to be prepared!

How to Protect Yourself

The best way to protect yourself from being audited or penalized by the IRS is education and due diligence. Familiarize yourself with all aspects of tax law so that when changes occur (and they will!) you know exactly what’s expected of you as a business owner. Make sure that your records are accurate and up-to-date; double check your math and keep records organized so they can easily be accessed if needed. Additionally, consider investing in an audit protection plan or consulting with Opem Tax Advocates, Inc.—this could save time, money, and headaches down the line!

It’s no surprise that technology has drastically changed our lives over the past decade; everything from communication to travel has been transformed by advances in computing power and artificial intelligence capabilities. Now, these same technologies are also transforming how governments operate—including how we manage taxes here in America. As a business owner, understanding how this revolution affects your bottom line is essential for staying on top of your taxes—and avoiding any unpleasant run-ins with Uncle Sam! With knowledge comes power; educate yourself on current tax laws so that when changes come around (and they will!) you’re ready for whatever new regulations may exist. With preparation comes peace of mind!
