There are rumors he is with the IRS.
They had a security glitch. They were trying to improve the system, and strengthen the fight against tax fraud. Well the system somehow malfunctioned causing delays in refunds. The IRS basically caught a virus sort of speak.
Despite any rumors you might have heard or read, the IRS audits tax payers 52 weeks per year. Except federal holidays. To learn more about taxes read Wallysworldoftaxes.blogspot.com.
No it is just a hoax!
how do i find out what address the irs has on file for me.
Every year, thousands of people find themselves unprepared to file their taxes. If you are one of them and simply fail to file your taxes, then you will have to face the wrath of the IRS. Instead of facing the wrath of the IRS, you should file a special form and receive a legal extension period for filing your taxes. You can file the Form 4868 and receive an automatic 6-month extension on the filing of your taxes. The only caveat with this option is that you must file for an extension by the due date set forth by the IRS.
Well, there are websites which help you do that task. Also, there is an application which you can fill out too. The address is www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4868.pdf.

No, you don't need to file an extension if you don't owe the IRS any money. You only need to file an extension if you need more time to pay. The current law is you have three years to file for a refund and after that you forfeit it to the IRS. The IRS does not charge penalties to people that are owed refunds even if they are filing after due date (usually April 15). Just make sure you file within the 3 years. But if you owe money, even if you file an extension, if you do NOT pay by April 15, then you will owe interest and penalties on the money you owe. The extension is form 4868 and can be filed online through IRS.gov e-file, or by mailing in the form. The extension is NOT an extension for time to PAY, it is just an extension for time to file. Even if you are owed a refund, the IRS says that you are "required" to file if you made over the standard deduction. But in all reality, if they owe you money, they don't want to see you get it. If they owe you money, they don't care when or if you file, but they do like to keep tabs on you. There will be no penalties.
In order to file for a tax extension, you will need to fill out form 4868 from the IRS. It can be found here: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4868.pdf If you don't want to file with the paper form, you may also e-file by filling out the form electronically and submitting it through your personal computer or a tax professional. More information is available from the above link."

If you have gone through an e-file provider, it will time stamp your application and apply for an extension on your behalf. If you do your own taxes, you can go to the IRS website and download or apply directly for an extension.
Contact an accountant and "come out from the cold" with the IRS. You may be able to file an extension and have minimal penalties.
Six monthsIf you file for an extension on your individual tax return, the IRS will give you six more months to complete the return. The IRS changed the extensions in 2006. There is now only the option for 6-month extensions (it used to be that you would file one extension, and could then file a second one for a total of 6 months). The IRS finally figured out that it would save a lot of work (and paper) to just give everyone a 6-month extension. That means an individual tax return would be due on October 15.Note: The extension is almost always for "time to file", NOT time to pay. You are still expected to pay by April 15. You must be entirely paid when you ask for the extension, or it won't be considered valid OR have penalties.
Using the Form 4868 you can click on the below related link for more information. In addition to filing Form 4868 electronically, or by paying part of your tax by credit card, you can file Form 4868 by filling out the form and mailing it to the place where you will file your return. Please be aware that an extension of time to file is NOT an extension of time to pay.
