IRS gives taxpayers one more day to file after payment site crashes

The IRS is giving people another day to pay their taxes. On Tax Day, April 17, an IRS web page was down for most of the day. The page allows filers to pay their taxes directly from their bank accounts. The page went down in the morning and became operational at 5:05 p.m. ET. Taxes are now due April 18. “This is the busiest tax day of the year, and the IRS apologizes for the inconvenience this system issue caused for taxpayers." -David Kautter, Acting IRS Commissioner ==================================== NTD reporter Tingting O, Henry Yan reporting in New York
