With a new year comes taxes, but is the IRS using high tech spy tools to make sure you’re paying enough?

In 2019, there will be about 152 million individual tax returns filed with the IRS. There will be roughly another 100 million business tax returns filed. There will be millions more miscellaneous tax returns, including trust, estate and gift tax returns. On top of that, over 3.6 BILLION information returns (Forms W-2, 1099, etc.) will be filed.

Pilla who is an expert in IRS procedure and advocate of taxpayer rights about concerns with IRS spy software. Listen below.
