The IRS already files its own version of your taxes. They use their version to check against what you the individual files.

The IRS has some pretty strict rules about who can access those files and how they can be shared with other agencies. In many ways these rules are unique to the IRS. Precisely because of the issues noted here.

IRS had some pretty strict rules. But apparently you just need to replace leadership with an acting toady to override the rules.
