    New - BREAKING: The SBA Just Unleashed AI to Hunt PPP Fraud

    PPP and EIDL enforcement may be entering a new AI-driven phase. Melinda Tolbert is breaking down what the SBA’s expanded use of Palantir technology could mean for business owners, borrowers, and tax professionals now. In this episode of IRS War Room, Melinda explains how Palantir may help the SBA analyze large datasets, flag patterns, identify possible coordinated schemes, generate investigative leads, and support fraud detection tied to PPP and EIDL loans. She also explains why this is not about robots replacing investigators, why records still matter years after pandemic relief money was issued, why forgiveness does not automatically close every issue, and why business owners need to know what is inside their PPP, EIDL, and ERC files before the government starts asking questions.
