      My son made a mistake on his state taxes and his return was rejected. The letter he got back basically said “we couldn’t verify your reported property taxes, so you can resubmit a correction or do nothing and accept our version of your taxes” (where he gets back about $200 less because of a typo.)

      So, like, yeah. They’re just comparing your notes to theirs, with the default benefiting the state.

    This year I think the IRS is rolling our free preparation (federal, some states offer it to I think).

    Go check it out.

    But yeah this could all be automated. Just another cigarette in your eye for daring to exist in the conservative fascist multiverse.

    They don’t actually know. If they think something looks suspicious, they do an audit, and then they know.

    The vast majority of people’s taxes fillings are taken on good faith.
