And millions of e-mails suddenly disappeared right?
Via USA Today:
The Internal Revenue Service suffered a “hardware failure” on Wednesday afternoon, which left many of its tax processing systems unavailable Wednesday night, the agency announced in a statement.
The agency stopped accepting electronically filed tax returns because of the problem. The outage could affect refunds, but the agency said it doesn’t anticipate “major disruptions.”
“The IRS is still assessing the scope of the outage,” the agency said. “At this time, the IRS does not anticipate major refund disruptions; we continue to expect that nine out of 10 taxpayers will receive their refunds within 21 days.”
The IRS.gov website remains available, but “Where’s My Refund” and other services are not working.
