“How do you expect the IRS ….”
I have worked for 2 government entities and have many acquaintances who work at local, state, and federal jobs. Government is a house of cards. If you care to pay attention you can see this on a regular basis.
How long should emails be saved? Regardless of cost?
I don’t know exactly everything the IRS does, but congress can pass a law about it anytime they want.
