DHS is a mess of Cybersecurity incompetence

[frunk]

Could the IRS like I don't know - do our taxes for us? Who else gets to demand money but first says, figure out how much you owe me first?

There have been attempts at tax reform in this direction, but they've been shot down in Congress.

I don't think this surprises anyone. If a government agency has good cyber-security that would be shocking.

Given that DHS is a kludge of a dozen different agencies I'd expect them to be one of the worst at it, maybe the worst.

I'm not surprised, I never liked the idea of creating another agency to solve the problems the CIA had doing its job.

But, it was a Republican idea, small government, small is beautiful, etc, etc, so multiplying inefficient government agencies is better than having one working correctly.

Given its track record, I'd rather the IRS be responsible for double-checking our math than the other way around.  Do you really trust the IRS' collective judgment enough to say you'd just pay the number they say you owe?

In Sweden many people only have to spend like 5 mins doing their taxes.

In Spain you can get the taxman to do your taxes for you, or do it yourself. It's optional. Having Agencia Tributaria do it usually works if your tax situation isn't a complex one (like having a single yearlong wage job).

That would suck. This way I can't pay someone to optimise my taxation for me.

I got my check from South Carolina back in, like, February.

I believe that is currently an option.

Ohio would have anally raped him for being late on his taxes.
