''' | '''IRIS''', an acronym for the '''Internal Revenue Information System''' (stylized '''IRIS*'''), is the centralized public data system of the [[Cartadania]]n [[Bureau of Federal Revenue (Cartadania)|Bureau of Federal Revenue]], designed to streamline the tax-filing process for Cartadanians by providing a user-friendly platform for completing [[List of countries by tax rates|federal]] and, in some cases, [[List of countries by tax rates|state taxes]], handling minor tax issues and disputes, and processing {{wp|tax refund}} disbursements. It was established as a free service in 2010 to replace the previous system and is not mandatory, allowing Cartadanians to file taxes through private companies if they wish. IRIS is based on modern technologies, including {{wp|encryption}} and {{wp|digital signature}}s, to ensure the security and privacy of taxpayers' information. Its primary goal is to make the process of filing taxes more efficient, transparent, and accessible to all Cartadanians, while also ensuring compliance with tax laws and regulations. Additionally, the federal government keeps track of the amount of money owed or refunded, and IRIS serves as a system to verify and ensure accuracy in the tax-filing process. | ||

FEDRA was in-service for ten years until the Treasury began an overhaul with its new application, then deemed Project Pluto. Development of Project Pluto began in 2008 with internal goals such as lighter framework, faster processing times, and better encryption of data for safety, while interface goals included a simpler interface, clearer instructions on usages, and better access. IRIS deployed alongside sister-service CRIS (Corporated Revenue Information System), which was designed to handle the large-scaled needs of many corporations throughout Cartadania. Along with CRIS, IRIS entered service 1 January 2010, and unlike with FEDRA, the IRIS and CRIS systems will remain in place with annual updates to interface, back-end systems, and other operations. | FEDRA was in-service for ten years until the Treasury began an overhaul with its new application, then deemed Project Pluto.

The primary law governing IRIS is the "Data Privacy and Protection Act." This law establishes guidelines for the collection, use, and protection of personal information by the Bureau of Federal Revenue, including any data processed through IRIS. It requires the Bureau to obtain explicit consent from individuals before collecting and processing their personal information, and would establish penalties for any misuse or unauthorized disclosure of such data. The law also requires the Bureau to implement robust data security measures to safeguard against cyber attacks and other forms of data breaches, which it does primarily in the form of PCA encryption. Additionally, the law requires regular audits of the IRIS system to ensure compliance with these guidelines and to identify any potential vulnerabilities in the system. As IRIS is a centralized public data system used for tax-related matters, several laws are relevant to its operations. There are thirty-seven total laws in place with at least some degree of impact on IRIS's use. Some of the more generic laws include: | The primary law governing IRIS is the "Data Privacy and Protection Act."

Under the current provisions for IRIS and CRIS, states may elect to participate in the IRIS system for state filings, but are not required to do so. For the states that opt-out of participation, the proprietary data system must be able to transmit data to and from IRIS and CRIS. | Under the current provisions for IRIS and CRIS, states may elect to participate in the IRIS system for state filings, but are not required to do so.

There are six non-participant states. [[Lombardia]], [[ | There are six non-participant states. [[Lombardia]], [[Maresia]], [[Santiago]], and [[Victoria]] do not assess a state income tax, thus their citizens only participate for federal filing. For other taxes, such as property, these states maintain their own internal systems, some of which are built around IRIS (e.g., Lombardia's LIRA system and Victoria's VIRGO). [[São Andreas]] and [[Bahia]] maintain their own tax systems, but in order to compy with federal law, also are able to transmit data to and from the IRIS and CRIS systems. | ||
