Tax System Modernization: Status of IRS' Input Processing Initiative

Abstract

This report responds to your May 17, 1990, request for information on the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) progress with the modernization of its tax processing system. Specifically, you asked us to describe the input processing initiative that is intended to speed the way in which tax information is fed into computer systems for processing. Although many of the projects included in the input processing initiative have just begun, you wanted an early indication of their status. You asked us to identify each project's anticipated costs, expected benefits, and progress toward implementation, and any issues requiring further attention by IRS. Appendix 1 discusses our objectives, scope, and methodology in greater detail.
