It's a statutory provision that was in the Obama administration's budgets for many years, and now it’s showing up in a Trump administration budget, which is somewhat surprising that the Republicans and President Trump in particular would want to get behind giving the IRS more power over us tax preparers, and that someone who campaigned on draining the swamp and dismantling the regulatory state would have as part of his budget a provision that would give additional power to the IRS, of all agencies. I guess that shows how entrenched bureaucrats can get in D.C., doesn't it?
