“Readying our systems to handle the tax season is an intricate, detailed process, and we must take the time to get it right,”

They do it ever year and have done it every year forever, what is the problem? By now one would think they had it down pat.
Looks to me like cover for problems with Obamacare, as informavoracious has pointed out. They have said there are no problems with their portion of the system. But how can that be? If the insurers are getting garbled data, so is everyone else, including the IRS. Just imagine all the fun that could result from, for example, assigning a few hundred thousand individual taxpayers with the wrong Obamacare tax status. Very very messy. So is it possible they lied to us? Maybe? Nah, couldn’t be. They’d never do that. Would they?
