You would think that in this age of computers, and the ability to electronically file simple tax returns online, that there would be NO delay at all!
You would think that as a result of increased computer usage, that they could have, and would have trimmed IRS staff by double digit percentages already!
I have a family member who tried to file taxes as she used to, back at the end of January. She filed them on line at their website and IRS wouldn’t accept it! She’s had to wait all this time just to file an EZ type return, much less receive her rebate which isn’t scheduled to ship out till march..and it’s a direct deposit to boot!
I can understand a human being that slow, but a computer????
I’d like to know what’s REALLY going on :(

Our government is bankrupt, in more ways than one.

All those computers run programs written by people, and the programs have to be tested and debugged. Changes for 2012 were made for what was expected and then some tax provisions were changed at the last minute.
Waiting a little longer to file is better than having them accept returns before the code is tested.
