GAO found that: (1) TSM planning and system development products are categorized as summary documents and technical supporting products; (2) summary documents set IRS strategic goals for tax administration into the next century; (3) senior IRS management and Congress use summary documents to guide and oversee modernization efforts; (4) technical supporting products are detailed plans and tools used by IRS to direct and manage various TSM projects and activities and include an acquisition management plan, a security architecture, and an integrated project schedule; and (5) IRS system development products are at varied stages of development and are updated annually or monthly.
