Trump Administration's Executive Claims $1.5 Billion Saved in IRS Tech Budget
March 21, 2025 - 12:16
A tech startup executive appointed by the Trump administration to assess the Internal Revenue Service's technology modernization program announced significant budget cuts on Thursday. Sam Corcos, the founder and CEO of health technology firm Levels, revealed that he has successfully canceled contracts totaling approximately $1.5 billion from the IRS's technology budget.
Corcos, who is also a member of the informal Department of Government Efficiency under President Donald Trump, highlighted the presence of outdated contracts with external technology consultants. He indicated that these contracts, some of which amount to tens of billions of dollars, were part of a modernization initiative that has been stalled for decades.
This move aims to streamline the IRS's operations and eliminate unnecessary spending, reflecting a broader effort to improve government efficiency. The cancellation of these contracts is seen as a step towards modernizing the agency's technology infrastructure, which has long been criticized for lagging behind current standards.
