The IRS went 3 months past promised deadline on their withholdings estimator site. I can't imagine the folly that'd be produced by them attempting tax software, as wrong as that sounds.

- pempem 4y agoThere is a continuous issue in our government where you can support a department and its efforts however its continuous underfunding or gutting has made the department essentially defunct. Then when the rest of our electorate looks at it they say "what is this shit dept? it doesn't do anything anyway, let's find a privatized solution". That was in fact the entire goal of gutting it. That and passing the cost onto you, the citizen in addition to the taxes paid for said defuct department that has a few well paid bureacrats sitting in there finding more ways for it to be shitty at its job. This is an openly stated conservative talking point and goal. I first noticed it happening in earnest under GW Bush with the EPA, dept of interior, post office, and more.
