Our Modern Government at Work

 Just saw this FSA notice.  Its title: Updated Schedule for FAXing CCC-941’s to IRS.

The Farm Service Agency has to check with the IRS to see that program participants have an adjusted gross income (AGI) of less than set amounts.  Because of restrictions on releasing IRS data, FSA has to provide an authorization signed by the participant--the CCC-941 form.   FSA and IRS use fax to transmit and receive the form. 

I don't know enough to comment further, but I will.  It seems to me if IRS can accept 1040s electronically, they ought to be able to accept 941's electronically. Or it seems as if lawyers/Congress could work out a way to bypass the requirement entirely.
