TL;DR

Some H&R Block customers experienced outages with the desktop software ahead of the tax day deadline, but the issue was resolved later in the day. The company confirmed that online clients and those working with a professional were not affected. The IRS received an $80 billion funding boost to enhance its digital capabilities, including a new online tax filing tool. Customers have until 11:59 p.m. in their local time zone on Monday to file their taxes without receiving a late fee, with extensions available for certain circumstances.
