KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- A tax-preparation glitch affecting about 660,000 tax returns will delay refunds by as long as six weeks, with customers of the nation's largest tax preparer among those affected.
The Internal Revenue Service said in a statement that a problem with a "limited number of software company products" affected some taxpayers filing a form used to claim educational credits between Feb. 14 and Feb. 22.
The agency didn't name any companies in the statement, which it released Tuesday, but Kansas City-based H&R Block has been informing customers about problems. H&R Block spokesman Gene King said Wednesday that the company isn't saying how many of its customers were affected by the problems with Form 8863.

Just some more BS stemming from budget cuts and understaffing.Why the IRS can't simply tell the truth is beyond comprehension.Just say "we've fallen behind on returns due to our agency being understaffed".Unless someones life depended on their return they would accept that.
