A good idea for morale maybe. Really the accounting could be nightmarish and it would allow dumb stuff like "NOTHING for the IRS!!!!1" The obvious solution would be to let the "undedicated" money go to fill in the gaps of whatever people don't say, making the whole thing fairly meaningless except as an empty gesture.

Not completely so.  If taxes worked like that you couldn't deficit spend anymore.

Also, if stuff like the IRS got no funding... wouldn't that mean the IRS shouldn't exist?  Without funding for the IRS the government sure would have to change the current insane tax laws to something more simple... that's for sure.
