Pennsylvania's Online Tax Filing Site Crashes
from the oops dept
If you thought procrastinating tax payers rushing to get their returns done by midnight last night were crazy enough - just picture what they'd be like if they suddenly couldn't file due to a technical glitch. Pennsylvania's online tax filing site crashed under the load last night and I, for one, am very happy that I was nowhere near anyone who was trying to file that way. Of course, PA officials are allowing those people to file on paper today, but I can just imagine the blood pressure levels of those presented with the error screen as the precious seconds ticked away to midnight.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
