Says the Washington Post, IRS Acting Commissioner David J. Kautter thinks it's probably some kind of glitch. But, as his title implies, he's just acting.

"Kautter said he hoped to have the problem resolved soon but that the agency would not punish people if their returns arrive late because of the glitches."

A note from Charlie in Wisconsin

"Storm 'Evelyn' is ending...finally....and left us with two feet of snow, give or take. Also, high winds, drifting and cold temps. Apparently the second largest storm in recorded history for NE Wis. 1888 hit Green Bay with 29.3 inches. This one comes in between 24 and 27 depending on location.

We should complain....Ha!
Thanks for asking. Maybe Spring is around the corner....somewhere!"
