Dear Alan, As I read it, this TIGA report is far from a rave review...
Am I missing something? Regards, Paul On Sun, 6 Jan 2019, Alan Altmark wrote:

I noted that the concerns TIGTA had were about process and project management, not about the technology choice. The ZDnet article author's claim of "gross incompetence" is not substantiated by anything I could find in the TIGTA report. I think it's (totally) awesome that when I file my 2019 taxes in 2020, parts of the e-file application will be running on Linux on Z! Caveat: It has been noted in the media that the current partial US government shutdown affects the IRS, so I take any reference to planned implementation dates with a grain of salt.
