There’s no way the IRS can track and calculate many large, important features of the tax code.

EITC eligibility, for example, depends on the aggregate employment and spending patterns of your household. The IRS does not (and shouldn’t) track when you moved in with your boyfriend.

The home mortgage interest deduction depends on your primary residence; if you have more than one, that means tracking how much time you spend at each.
