Big Computer Glitches Strike IRS on Tax Day

Description

Computers at the Internal Revenue Service suffered a technical problem that prevented some US taxpayers from filing or paying 2017 returns on Tuesday ahead of a deadline at midnight. In a statement, the IRS said several of its systems were hit with computer glitchs, including one that handles returns filed electronically and another that accepts online tax payments using a bank account. The agency, which said it received 5 million tax returns on the final day of filing season last year, added its not clear yet how many taxpayers might have been affected. The IRS went on to say that taxpayers affected by the technical issues, could still request an extension until October 15.
