  6. “Lessons Learned” • Double the time for internal testing as test administrators are optimistic. • IT information provided by Treasury is often cryptic and not correct. • Timing of collections proves to be challenging and causes unavoidable refunds. • Many states advised us just to jump in and that proved to be good advice because issues are not that great to overcome. • Project has provided a great source of income to the state:NMDWS recovered $303,630.39 directly from taxpayers via NMTOP letters And NMTOP collected an additional $6,501,915.82 from the US Treasury for those who did not pay directly.
