The IRS is using artificial intelligence to identify complicated tax evasion schemes and focus its enforcement efforts for large partnerships, as part of a new compliance push announced Friday.
“The IRS is deploying new resources towards cutting-edge technology to improve our visibility on how the wealthy have gotten more creative on where they shield their income and focusing our staff attention on the areas of greatest abuse,” IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel told reporters on Thursday, dubbing it a “new era” for the IRS, “where we’re investing in tools like artificial intelligence.”
