Taxcut can't e-file

I would just like to let as many people as possible know about this. If you use taxcut software there is a delay in the e-filing process. Here is the e-mail I received: Due to early season delays in the processing of tax returns, your return has not been processed by the IRS or state tax authority. We are working with the tax authorities to finalize our systems and will begin processing as soon as possible. This delay affects all TaxCut returns being processed in your State. We apologize for this inconvenience. You will receive email notification when your return has been processed by the IRS and/or the state taxing authority. If you have questions about e-filing or need to contact us, please visit our Customer Support Center at:

Thank you for choosing TaxCut.

So far I have been waiting 9 days for my e-file to be processed. H.R. Block is keeping this problem under wraps because they still wish to sell their software this season. In fact, most of their own employees don't know a thing about it. (or at least they pretend they don't when they call). When I finally reached someone who knew of this problem, after an hour on the phone, she said, "Perhaps you should file on paper...Oh, but you already submitted an e-file...you can't. You'll just have to wait...indefinitely" I have used Taxcut for 6 years, but I will never again use it. P.S. A few calls to HR. Block offices in my area discovered that they also are unable to process e-files at the moment. I suggest that anyone counting on this service find another tax preparer.

Here's a little light perhaps on the problem.

UP through last year we filed with IRS via a dial up modem and returns went to designated service centers, depending on the state. The state return is still a variable, however IRS changed processing centers for certain states, thus I file half of mine with Austin TX and the other half with Philadelphia. This is just found out today. BUT... the most important change, is that IRS discarded the dial up modem setup and all returns have to filed via internet connection. Also IRS is admitting problems do exist and should be fixed by February. Not sure what the nature of all the problems is however. Stay tuned.

---------- Moderator: Marlan, mi amigo meticuloso, this problem was cited in the post where I mentioned I received 160 posts and culled as well as was practical. Comes as no surprise that I missed some.
