Turbo Tax electronic filing system overloaded on Tuesday
It's not been a great week for Turbo Tax. First it comes out that there's a security flaw allowing uses to see tax returns uploaded by other customers. And now parent company Intuit is confirming that all the last minute filings on Tuesday night bogged down the company's online tax filing system, leaving some customers unable to e-file.Intuit says the problems with their servers have been fixed, and is telling customers to try electronically filing their taxes again. Intuit is working with the IRS to ensure that late filings due to the system overload are not treated as late.
If you refile and get a message sayin that your return has already been filed, you will need to call Turbo Tax support in order to verify that your documents have already been accepted by the IRS.
