This sounds extremely like my old tax accounting job. OCR existed and "worked" but it was faster to just enter the numbers manually than fix all the errors.
Also, the real solution to the problem should have been for the IRS to just pre-fill tax returns with all the accounting data that they obviously already have. But that would require the government to care.
Germany (not exactly the cradle of digitalization) already auto-fills salary tax fields with data from the employer.
They finally made filing free.
So, maybe this century?
Check again, Elon and his Doge team killed that.
No they didn’t, that claim is ridiculously easy to debunk but it has been going around because it fits the narrative.
