An audit of a new tax computer system being developed at the Internal Revenue Service has raised serious questions about its feasibility.

The system is under contract to PRIME Alliance, a group of contractors headed by Computer Science Corporation. The goal is to replace an outdated legacy system at the IRS.

According to the audit, the contract has seen numerous delays. The contractor is also being paid for work that was never done, the report states.

The audit was made public by the Senate Finance Committee, whose chairman and ranking member released a statement saying they were concerned about the project development.
