Recent reports indicate that approximately $4.7 trillion in US Treasury payments were “untraceable” due to missing identification codes. This information was brought to light by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), headed by Elon Musk.
The missing code is called the Treasury Account Symbol (TAS), which is crucial for linking payments to specific budget items. Without this code, it becomes extremely difficult to track where the money is going.
DOGE has since made the TAS field mandatory for all Treasury payments to improve transparency and accountability.

The New York Post reported that a recent release stated that around $4.7 trillion worth of payments that were handled by the Treasury Department were nearly untraceable due to the absence of a vital tracking number.
DOGE used X to post “In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for -$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible,” according to the newspaper.
