The less of my money that's blown in the process of taking my money, the better in my book.

HOWEVER, any kind of major tech changes takes a lot of planning, time and effort. Trying to switch over to 'new tech' in freaking JANUARY is a ridiculous thing for the IRS to do. Add a ton of org/management changes to that equation (esp. with how incompetent everyone Trump has put into power are, and the fucked motivations for everything they do) and you're looking at a massive clusterfuck waiting to happen.
