The IRS experienced a hardware failure yesterday afternoon affecting a number of tax processing systems, including the e-file system. According to a press release, they expected some of the systems to remain unavailable until today as repairs are made.
IRS.gov remains available, although a number of the services on the site were not, including Where’s My Refund.
The IRS says taxpayers can continue to prepare and file their tax returns as they normally would. Taxpayers can continue to send their tax returns to their e-file provider; these companies will hold the tax returns until the IRS resumes accepting electronic tax returns. Taxpayers who have already filed their tax returns do not need to take any additional action.
The IRS is still assessing the scope of the outage. As of yesterday they did not anticipate major refund disruptions, and continued to expect that 9 out of 10 taxpayers will receive their refunds within 21 days.
