Tax Day 2018: Here's why you may not get a refund this year
In a statement, the IRS announced it is giving taxpayers an additional day to file and pay their taxes after technical issues on the agency's website made it impossible for people to view their tax record or make payments for much of the day on Tuesday. The move comes as many tax professionals and individuals encountered difficulties with the IRS website, particularly its Direct Pay system, which allows debit-based payment of tax obligations for no fee. "The IRS appreciates everyone's patience during this period". It said that the payment service, IRS Direct Pay, was experiencing both an unplanned and planned outage.
But he says that many people who have complicated tax situations do file for extensions.
The IRS said it believed the problem was a hardware issue and "not other factors".
Proscrastinators have one more day to finish their taxes. The credit card payment systems available through the IRS website appear to be functioning, however there is a fee associated with making those payments.
With the tax deadline looming Tuesday, scammers are out in full force trying to rip off those filing their taxes.
"The challenge we've got is between the transmission from the software providers - H&R Block, Intuit - to the IRS".

Justin Langer set to be new Australian cricket coach, media reports say
Lehmann had resigned as Australia coach following the ball-tampering scandal that erupted in Cape Town in March. Newspaper reports had linked Justin Langer, the former Australia opener, to the job.
Some of those systems are said to date back to President Lyndon B. Johnson, although as U.S. Representative Gerry Connolly pointed out, that may be a good thing: Chinese hackers "don't know how to hack COBOL systems". "Americans should not be punished for being unable to file their tax returns or pay their tax bills today". The IRS-perhaps the least popular agency of the federal government-has been the target of budget cuts for years and staffing has dropped by about 18,000.
The IRS initially urged taxpayers to try to complete their filings ahead of the deadline, despite the malfunction, prompting some confusion about how to go about doing so.
The IRS typically recommends that taxpayers use electronic filing to avoid common mistakes.
Usually, taxes are expected to be in by April 15 but the normal tax day fell on Emancipation Day, a holiday only celebrated in Washington D.C.
Kautter said taxpayers can continue to prepare their tax returns and submit them online as the IRS works to diagnose the problem.
