      Welcome to (let’s be honest, Republican) policies that cut “in-house” staffing for decades at various federal institutions, instead outsourcing important work to contractors, under funding of important projects, and general “backwards” operation.

      And they do. My family member still insists on only submitting thier taxes by snail mail. For 2021, the IRS lost the original, required a second submission (of original documents, lol), and then lost that one. In the end, they had to get an advocate to help them submit a third, and final return.

      At least they didn’t owe, or I’m sure they would have been in big trouble. But of course the IRS sending the refund check over a year late, has no repercussions…
