Amusingly, the IRS computer systems simply can't handle that much data nor has the communications systems to even receive that quantity. Some lame brain has vastly underestimated by a zillion percent how many transactions occur every day, let alone annually.
My IT guys are highly amused, and the betting pool on IRS system crash started with days, but got tossed, then how many hours on day 1, but that got tossed, but what we ended up with was how many minutes into 1st hour (but I bought minute 1 for a hundred).
One of of gals that didn't get her buy in then said: should the pool be seconds of 1st minute?
She had a valid point so we canceled the pool, and the pot went to a very large bar tab at a hotel catered event we all ran up on the 18th. Yes, very large tab. Originally Posted by Unique_Carpenter

Can this be handled by the NSA?
