17. I bet this cyberwar has affected the IRS website breakdown!

The Internal Revenue Service’s online system for submitting tax returns experienced widespread failures on Tuesday, complicating filing for the millions of taxpayers attempting to meet the government’s midnight deadline.

“On my way over here this morning, I was told a number of systems are down at the moment,” IRS Acting Commissioner David J. Kautter told lawmakers at an oversight hearing Tuesday. “We are working to resolve the issue and taxpayers should continue to file as they normally would.”

Kautter said the agency was struggling to accept returns from the widely used tax software program TurboTax and the massive tax preparation company H&R Block. Taxpayers can use the services to complete their filings, but the filings are not being transmitted from the companies to the IRS, Kautter said.

The agency discovered the problem early Tuesday morning. An IRS spokeswoman would not comment on when the problem would be resolved.
