It appears yesterday it was nearly impossible to e-file your taxes on time through TurboTax as their servers were most likely out of commission from the incredibly high volume. This left countless people worrying about the missed deadline and what to do about it.

There is a pretty large thread on the Intuit forums with upset customers. Apparently Intuit is working with the IRS to (hopefully) have them accept all returns as if they were filed on time. From a moderator of the forums:

“Folks, we’re working with the IRS to ensure that returns will be accepted as timely filed despite this situation. Protection of your interest is of the highest priority. IRS and Intuit will provide further details in the morning… thank you for your patience!”

I guess the answer is if you are going to wait until the last minute to file you should file for an extension even if you don’t think you will need it.
