YourVoice.Now Summary
Your MoneyTransparency & AccountabilityThe IRS would test AI that scans tax returns for fraud — including refunds stolen in your name.
Your Money
Treasury would set up the trial to help the IRS, scanning returns from both people and businesses. The bill does not say what happens to a return the software flags.
Thieves sometimes file a fake return in your name and take your refund. The trial would hunt for that, and for false claims for tax credits, deductions, or refunds.
Transparency & Accountability
The trial must run at least 18 months and cannot go past two years. The bill does not keep it going after that.
Congress's audit office would send the report to the tax committees in the House and Senate, six months after the trial's last day. It must cover how well the software worked, how much fraud it found, and how much money came back.
More about this bill
If you file a tax return, a computer program could soon help check whether yours looks wrong. The Treasury Department would have 180 days to start a trial run of artificial intelligence built to spot bad returns. The tools would look for three things. One is refunds stolen through identity theft. Another is false claims for tax credits or refunds. The third is returns filed by paid preparers who left their name off. You would not fill out any new forms. The trial would run at least 18 months and no more than two years. After it ends, the Government Accountability Office, which audits federal agencies for Congress, would have six months to report back. The report would cover how much fraud the tools caught and how much money the government got back. It would also say how often the tools were right. The bill sets aside no money for the trial.
