Yeah. Pretty grim. I'm filing a whole month earlier than I usually would, and I'm just sitting here thinking, "what's the point? Musk already has his hand in the till at the IRS."
I'm just looking at the general "the IRS is completely f@$&ed" at this point. Can they prove records haven't been altered? Deleted? if they try to audit anyone for anything in the next four or five years, you can just shrug and say "Big Balls screwed with my filing,"
Seriously. Once you let DOGE in, how can you prove that documents weren't tampered with? This is going to be a massive windfall for the richest, who can use their armies of lawyers to use this as a way to weasel out of paying. As Musk surely intends.
They update it all the time, but when they do they put up a notice saying that it’s being updated.
Now it’s just gone.
One theory is that it got pulled to remove the section saying who and how to contact if you’re a member of a protected class (race, gender, etc) and feel the IRS did you dirty.
I'm of the opinion Musk is planning very little of this. He's still the idiot who spent way too much for Twitter, then randomly unplugged a bunch of servers, watched the lights flicker, and said "Haha, see, we didn't need that."
Now he's just yanking out plugs on the US Government.
I do agree with that -- some things he's doing deliberately, like targeting all the departments that have investigated him, but so much of the rest is just malicious incompetence set loose. This isn't a social media site or a startup -- people are going to actually die because of what he's doing.

Kari’s an EA (so if you need any tax shit done hit me up). And paying close attention.
There’s a manual of IRS procedures online for how to work with them. Who to call, how they’re supposed to respond, etc.
It disappeared yesterday. No one’s sure why.
Now it’s just gone.
