There is another set of passwords when you file electronically that can be used every year. The IP PIN is different and can apply to only one taxpayer when filing jointly.

If you are the one who originally requested it, then all you do is get it from your online IRS account.

I agree with majority of what you wrote. As I stated, I’m more concerned about the debt than AI but I am worried that the hundreds of billions of investment in AI will not generate the revenue the stock market wants.

According to the piece, “the biggest finding is that immigrants have generated a cumulative $14.5 trillion, in real 2024 dollars, in deficit reductions over the last 30 years. If you look at just illegal immigrants, their net benefit, it’s about $1.7 trillion. And what's really going on there is that illegal immigrants are largely excluded from the biggest public benefits programs — and those are Social Security and Medicare.” So one can come to the conclusion that without immigration, legal or illegal, our national debt would be over $50 trillion.
