IRS Admits It Computer Goals By $80 Million
The IRS says its loan computer once credited an $80 million refund to a large corporation due to reversed tax IDs, corrected by humans in an audit. This year the system fully screens returns and already flags errors in 3.2 million processed individual filings, including 95,780 arithmetic mistakes and 35,000 returns with missing or wrong Social Security or tax IDs.

25 Million Have TB and the PHS Claims
A Pub lic Health Service physician in Los Angeles says 25 million Americans are infected with tuberculosis though not active. He cites 50,000 yearly new active cases and urges tuberculin testing for schoolchildren amid reports that increases reflect better detection rather than more disease. A health official argues cases rise only statistically. Separately a tax computer error led to an $80 million overseas refund due to swapped identification numbers, later corrected after human audit.
