The numbers ought to improve from the statistics reported by the Internal Revenue Service for the period ended April 13. After all, after the agency’s computer systems went down and came back up on Tuesday April 17, the IRS said 14 million returns had been filed by 9 a.m. Wednesday, April 18.
Liberty Tax has engaged Carr Riggs & Ingram as its outside auditor. The tax services company also said it has been notified that owing to appointments of two independent directors to its audit committee it is now in compliance with one Nasdaq Listing Rule, although it still needs to issue overdue quarter reports to be in compliance with another Nasdaq requirement.
The Internal Revenue Servicereports all processing systems are working following a hardware issue on Tuesday, April 17, that halted several services. The agency says it accepted more than 14 million returns after what it described as a Tuesday morning problem.
The Internal Revenue Servicehas given taxpayers until midnight April 18 to file taxes. The IRS took the action because of computer outages on Tuesday, morning, April 17, but said it did not impact many taxpayers. Taxpayers do not need to take any action to receive the extension.
The Internal Revenue Service has experienced computer outages today. Web pages for eServices and DirectPay with Bank Account remained down in the late afternoon.
