REAL REASON THE IRS SYSTEMS ARE DOWN AND THERE IS TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES…

[MCRT88]

How much you want to bet their “systems broke down” and they are having “Technical Difficulties” so that they could catch up on all of the already filed returns and everybody who filed early?
They can’t accept E-file returns ALL of yesterday and they are predicting Today too, BUT it wont affect the people who already filed?
Sounds to me like this finally gives them time to catch up, process our returns, give us a DDD of Monday 2/8 (like some ppl are getting) and have our money to us ONE DAY before the end of the 21 day period..

Basically, they probably figured “oh shit” there are so many people filing right now, we are never going to be able to catch up to all these, what do we do? The que will be full, we wont be able to drop that many in, and then it will be past the 21 days and we will be bombarded with thousands of phone calls!
BOOM! Enter “Technical Difficulties”, where Transcripts and WMR is down, and-and NOBODY can E-file.. That gives them a reason to be late on the people’s returns that are filing right now and the que wont be anywhere close to full, so they will be able to drop us 1/11-1/20ers in there and get us processed and have our money to us ONE DAY before the 21 days.

THATS WHAT I THINK! Lol. That is my conspiracy… or even if they really did break down, hopefully they F****** use the time to catch up!

*Hoping*

Unfortunately that isn’t true :( I was at the IRS Field Office yesterday verifying my identity because I failed the stupid Equifax questions over the phone.. dummy…. but…. While the lady was working on my account the whole system crashed!!! We waited like 20 min but then she said I could go and she would finish it up after system came back on. I REALLY hope she did because the office was an hour away and I can’t take off work again, especially not having my refund. :(

Good!! I hope that is what’s happening! I need them to get caught up and get us our refunds.

Honestly, I hope that’s true because my deviously creative brain can produce far more sinister scenarios…. LOL

You know I’ve wondered the same thing since it “went down” That something is definitely going on more than just “oh everything is broke”. Personally I feel like they would be able to fix everything a hell of a lot faster than they did. But who knows just a theory lol
