The Automated Under-Reporter Program is not a "sufficiently advanced compiler" for tax returns. It does simple match: did your brokerage account say you made $30k in dividends on a 1099-DIV to the IRS last year? Cool. Do you show a line item which matches $30k in dividend income on your 1040? No? Add an item to a work queue.

It doesn't (and can't) divine "Did the expense on this business return factually happen? Was it for the operation of the business? Is it standard and ordinary?"
