But how difficult it is to simply use social security number to sync IRS data with social security data?

I was writing computer programs for 37 years using all sorts of different programming languages,
including Assembler, Fortran, Cobol, Dbase, CNC machines, programmable controllers, and few more.
It was no big deal moving from one language to another. But then I have a masters degree in engineering.
