Why CADE?

• The age and complexity of the Current Processing
  Environment (CPE) inhibits modernization and
  technological advancements in the Customer
  Service and Compliance arenas.
• The Customer Account Data Engine (CADE) will
  provide the foundation for managing taxpayer
  accounts to achieve the IRS modernization vision.
  It consists of databases and related
  applications that will replace the IRS official
  repository of taxpayer information, the Master
  File.
• The IRS Vision and Strategy plans for a phased
  replacement of IRS computer systems to better
  support todays tax laws, policies, and taxpayer
  needs. CADE plays a key role in realizing this
  Strategy.

5
CADE and the Modernized IRS

• CADE posts and settles taxpayer accounts on a
  daily basis versus the weekly cycle method used
  in the Individual Master File (IMF) Processing
  Environment
• CADE dynamically posts and settles each
  transaction individually versus the batch system
  in IMF
• CADE will contain the modernized authoritative
  data store for tax account data
• CADE sets the standards for the other modernized
  systems by using business rules, standardized C
  coding in XML format

6
CADE Functionality

• When fully implemented
• CADE system primary functions
• Accept, validate, and store account data
• Post and settle accounts Dynamically
• Manage issues (records, notifies)
• Retrieve data (online transactions) for other
  applications
• Ensure CPE system integration
• CADE will be the single authoritative source for
  taxpayer account information
• CADE database will enable development of
  subsequent modernized systems
• CADE is the cornerstone of the IRS modernized
  systems

7
Release Approach

• CADE incrementally developed over multiple
  releases
• Deploy two releases per year
• Simplest accounts moved first increasingly
  complex tax returns processed with each
  incremental release
• Accounts are returned to IMF if incoming
  transaction is outside current CADE release scope
• Accounts are either on CADE or on Master File
  never split between systems
