Filing taxes electronically.....You may not get your return

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

My friend just called and said when she picked up her taxes at H&R Block, she was told that the IRS is having difficulty with their computers. Things are being duplicated. The Block rep. advised my friend not to file electronically but to use regular mail. Anything sent it by post is fine and people will not have trouble with their returns. Anything sent electronically, you may not see your return for a long time. Since most companies charge for that electonic filing, they may hesitate about telling tax customers of the longer wait. I do not have a URL or definate fact on this, just heresay. You might want to check it out before sending in your taxes.
