 |
|
I've been trying to get on the IRS site (irs.gov) to get tax forms, but every time I try it doesn't work. I've tried multiple times from multiple places. Has this happened to anyone else?
How can I access this website? |

| Hmm I think its blocking Korean IP addresses ever since the cyber attacks in the US and Korea last month. Anyways, you can circumvent this by going to www.hidemyass.com. Type in the IRS website there and voila! |

| Yeah Donut, I'm trying to do my taxes, and I keep having to ask friends at home to download and email me pdf forms and instructions. The proxy servers don't work. I talked with an IRS agent and he didn't know what was going on. They discontinued telefile, so I think paper is the only way to go. Sucks. |

| Strangely enough, on Google's search results, you can "view" a .pdf file, you just can't download it. |

My bad. You have to enter the "www." or it doesn't work. Thanks, maybe I'll try to efile through a proxy. |

You do need the www, but lately it won't work unless you use a proxy.
I've been emailing the irs and I think they are starting to take me seriously.
Of course you have to use the proxy to get the email address.
Everyone email the irs until they take this seriously.
