For years, taxpayers have heard that the IRS receives enormous amounts of information.

What is changing is the agency’s ability to use it.

The IRS says it is expanding its use of artificial intelligence, advanced analytics, and improved data integration to more precisely identify high risk noncompliance and fraud. Its FY 2027 strategy specifically identifies data driven enforcement as a priority.

Think about what that means in practical terms.

The IRS already receives information from W2s, 1099s and other third party reporting. More sophisticated analytics can help the agency identify patterns and inconsistencies within the information available to it and decide which situations deserve additional attention.

That does not mean every discrepancy becomes an audit, and it does not mean AI replaces the people making decisions inside the IRS. But it does mean relying on the idea that something will simply go unnoticed is becoming a much weaker strategy.

After more than 25 years focused exclusively on tax debt resolution, one thing I continue to tell taxpayers is that addressing a problem voluntarily gives us more room to work than waiting until enforcement forces the conversation.

If you know there is a tax problem, deal with what you know now.

There is always a solution.

The IRS is changing how it identifies potential tax problems.

In 2026, IRS leadership confirmed the agency is using artificial intelligence and advanced analytics to identify higher risk areas of noncompliance and fraud with greater accuracy. The goal is to use more data and better technology to spot patterns that may have been difficult to detect in the past and direct enforcement resources toward cases that warrant a closer look.

For taxpayers, that means something important.

The information reported to the IRS is increasingly being analyzed and connected across systems. A discrepancy, an unusual pattern, or information that does not line up may be easier for the agency to identify than it was years ago.

AI does not mean a computer automatically decides that you have done something wrong. It means the IRS has more sophisticated tools helping it determine where human enforcement resources should be focused. The IRS says these tools are intended to improve accuracy and reduce false positives while allowing employees to concentrate on higher value compliance work.

If you have unfiled returns, unresolved tax debt, or a tax issue you have been hoping will simply stay under the radar, this is another reason to address it proactively.

Technology may be changing how the IRS finds problems.

The solution is still getting in front of them.

There is always a solution.

This month’s newsletter covers a topic I think deserves far more attention than it gets: why state tax debt doesn’t disappear once the federal side gets resolved, and specifically what’s worth confirming before you assume you’re fully in the clear. Link in bio.

Tax professionals, if this is a gap you keep encountering with your own clients, I’d love to connect and compare notes.

I hear a version of this fairly regularly. Someone finally resolves their federal tax debt, feels a genuine sense of relief that the whole ordeal is behind them, and then months later a state notice shows up seemingly out of nowhere. It’s always worth reassuring people in that moment that it isn’t a sign anything went wrong on their end. It’s simply how these two systems operate, independently of each other, on their own separate timelines.

If your federal side is resolved and you haven’t specifically confirmed where things stand with your state, now is a good time to check rather than assume.

Fun tax fact: Maine imposes a specific tax on wild blueberries, assessed per pound at the point of sale, separate from general sales tax. It’s one of the more oddly specific line items in any state’s tax code.

Somewhere, an accountant specializes exclusively in blueberries. 🦁
