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.
