that ticking you hear is time running out on the irs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

america is a great nation but not without its occasional embarrassment. one of the lesser-known national ignominies is the patched-up, jury-rigged studebaker at the core of the irs information technology system.<\/p>\n

studebaker didn\u2019t manufacture the individual master file system, but the company was producing the lark at about the same time the imf was installed at the irs in the early 1960s. studebaker has long since gone out of business, and larks are as dead as dinosaurs, but the imf is still chugging away.

\nthe national taxpayer advocate report to congress likens the imf to a 1960s car that has been souped up with bluetooth, gps, and anti-lock brakes, but it\u2019s still an old car that isn\u2019t going very fast and shouldn\u2019t be on the road.<\/p>\n

231 legacy systems<\/strong><\/p>\n

the incredibly antiquated imf isn\u2019t the only \u201clegacy system\u201d at work at the world\u2019s largest tax collection agency. the treasury inspector general for tax administration has identified 231 legacy systems \u2013 that is, systems more than 25 years old \u2013 45 of which are due for modernization, with another 34 that should have been retired long ago.<\/p>\n

a failure of the imf or other core system would be catastrophic for an agency that harvests $3.6 trillion in taxes every year, in the process touching virtually every american citizen. the state of the current irs core it system has been termed \u201ca ticking time bomb.\u201d<\/p>\n

the imf is slated to be replaced by a new system, the customer account data engine 2 (cade 2). unfortunately, the irs is not expected to complete the second phase of upgrade until 2024, and even that might be an impossible dream. the irs has been working on cade 2 since 2016, but every time there\u2019s a budget cut, hiring freeze or change in scope, the project has to be \u201crebaselined\u201d to account for changes in the irs and general technology.<\/p>\n

and then along came a pandemic and a shutdown.<\/p>\n

if there are budget cuts, operational shutdowns, loss of key personnel or other interruptions between now and 2024, the development of cade 2 could recede even further into the future.<\/p>\n

modernization plan<\/strong><\/p>\n

overhauling its it system is only part of the irs integrated modernization plan that was released in 2019. its goal is \u201cmore than the replacement of aged infrastructure, software products, and outdated code … it will also address how irs workforce processes and culture will evolve to sustain ongoing innovation and transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n

a month later after the launch of the plan, nancy sieger was named chief information officer and handed the keys to the federal studebaker, which had been installed just a few years before her birth.<\/p>\n

the four pillars of the modernization plan are:<\/p>\n
