The art of war is simple enough.
The IRS is already cursed but this is some next-level bureaucratic insanity.

Washington Post posted:

This is the cafeteria at the Internal Revenue Service offices in Austin. Yes, the cafeteria.

It’s part of what the IRS calls the “Pipeline”: a 1970s-era assembly line used to process tax returns at several locations around the country.

As of July 29 [2022], the IRS had a backlog of 10.2 million unprocessed individual returns. Blame the pandemic, sure, but also the agency’s embarrassingly outdated, paper-based system, which leaves stacks and stacks of returns cluttering shelves, hallways and even the cafeteria.



Washington Post posted:

Maybe the taxpayer made a math mistake. Or maybe an IRS employee typed in a 3 instead of a 4. The computer flags it, and an employee has to go in and fix the error. Sometimes there was no actual error at all, but the ancient IT system can’t handle all the information in a return.

For example, maybe a taxpayer listed five dependents. Totally legal. But the IRS database, by default, does not have storage capacity for more than four. The computer reports an error, and an employee must manually add the fifth to the file.

See that green computer interface? It dates to the disco era. The system runs on COBOL, an antiquated programming language few coders still know.

I used to eat in that cafeteria! I worked a low level job there for a couple of years back in the 80s. For part of that time I worked in the off site warehouse. Aisle after aisle of metal racks filled with boxes, which were filled with folders which were filled with forms. My job was to take a list of numbers and pull the documents, or a stack of documents and drop them back into place in the right folder. Literally millions of documents.

Most were pulls for things like mismatched ssn between form and W2s. Like some guy with six W2s, all with different ssns (probably an undocumented immigrant). Every now and then you'd get something fun like a celebrity form or some whacko tax protester who wouldn't pay taxes because the IRS used "the end-times biblical demon machine, the computer". Or finding out how much an ex girlfriend got from her parents in the gift tax section (it was a lot - $20k per year in the 80s is $55k now).

Nah, I learned COBOL in uni and wrote it professionally at the beginning of my career. It's is just a very boring and restrictive general-purpose programming language, with some quirks because it's so goddamned old.

The machines that tend to be used for running COBOL are the extremely powerful and reliable part.
