Well, the IRS is gearing up for tax filing season.  They have updated systems and forms and supposedly are ready to roll.  See the article from Accounting Today by Michael Cohn for more details:

Starting January 20, the IRS will begin processing e-file returns (their free FastTax service opens today).  The Service says that budget cuts will further delay processing paper filed returns, so they are recommending taxpayers e-file tax returns (why they don’t allow e-filing of amended returns still escapes me.)  Well, time to file.  Better make your appointment with your tax preparer early; looks like a busy season.
