That's a dead giveaway. The IRS cannot afford that kind of technology.
The shit is thus generations older than the kids who try to hack into it.
When I started in 1972 they were so proud of it. About ten years later one of my buddies was doing an interview with a guy and when he came back he was laughing. I asked him what happened and he said "that guy runs a computer company, on the way out he asked if he could see what our computers looked like. I told him to look over the wall into the Taxpayer Service Area and he said ' wow.... this is like going to a museum.'
That would have been in the early 80's.

Quote:I want to say something positive about the IRS Computer System; it is obsolete but still highly functional 56 years after it went on line. No one has ever breached the ADP/IDRS System, simply because it is not on-line. The mainframe master computer went online in 1961 and it is called the Automated Data Processing System (ADP).It contains information on every person, business, trust, partnership and estate from that time to the present, it is a huge database. This is called the Master File. It is like a large file cabinet that has data on every American citizen alive or dead since 1961.
