NEW TAXPAYER ACCOUNT, PROCESSING SYSTEM DEBUTS



WASHINGTON - A modernized system designed to replace the IRS central

database of taxpayer account information has processed its first live

returns, the Internal Revenue Service announced today.



The Customer Account Data Engine (CADE) started processing an initial set

of 1040EZ tax returns in the past week. The returns being processed are

the most basic of 1040EZ forms and have a narrow range of taxpayer

information, but it marks the first time since the 1960s that individual

tax returns have been processed in a new way.



"For the first time in 40 years, the IRS is processing returns and issuing

refunds on a new computer system," IRS Commissioner Mark W. Everson said.

"We've waited a long time for this moment. While long overdue, this is an

important first step in modernizing our return processing technologies. We

still have a long way to go and a lot of work ahead of us."



CADE will be used to process more than 2 million 1040EZ tax returns during

the 2005 filing season. The CADE system is scheduled to be phased in over

several years, processing increasingly more complex tax returns in stages,

ultimately replacing the 40-year-old system the IRS now uses to process

tax return data.



When fully operational, CADE will be a modern database that will house tax

information for more than 200 million individual and business taxpayers.

It replaces an antiquated system called the Master File. The magnetic

tape-based system came into use four decades ago, takes a week to update

records and creates delays in providing accurate account information for

taxpayers. When completed, CADE will provide a variety of benefits to

taxpayers, such as faster refunds along with daily postings of

transactions and updating of accounts.

This is going to be tougher on the PAYtriot groups who charge STOOpid FRN's for decoding master files.

I don't want to name bash but one of 'em starts with the letters IMF and ends with the word decoder.



Besides, when we do FOIA's for the IMF's, aren't we requesting info for the CONSTRUCTIVE TRUST in our name?

Shouldn't we press them to correct the records in the DoC's computer that we are not U.S Citizens, persons, individuals,etc....
