The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is organizing a hackathon in Washington, DC, next week. Their aim is to develop a single mega API to enhance access to IRS data. DOGE is considering partnering with a third-party vendor, with Palantir being a frequently mentioned potential collaborator. Two key DOGE members at the IRS, Sam Corcos and Gavin Kliger, are leading the hackathon efforts. Corcos, who also advises Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, has halted all engineering work at the IRS and canceled ongoing modernization projects. He announced that they have cut approximately $1.5 billion from the IRS modernization budget. This drastic reduction aims to prevent further complexity in the agency’s systems. DOGE’s new plan involves creating one comprehensive API to streamline IRS data access for cloud platforms, potentially centralizing all IRS data into one accessible location.

Mar 21 There is a pattern across all agencies where IT “modernization” contracts do not pay for outcomes/performance; instead, they pay for time. Therefore, the incentive is for contractors to “never finish,” resulting in incredible waste.
As an example, IRS modernization started in

Sam Corcos, now a Treasury Dept. adviser, admits the truth:
IRS systems are 30+ YEARS OUTDATED…
$15 BILLION already flushed down the drain

Apr 4 IRS workforce cut by 25% under Trump. 20,000 jobs gone, including 75% of the Office of Civil Rights. It’ll save $3.5B, but critics warn of impacts on tax collection and civil rights. Thoughts? #IRS #TrumpAdmin
