IRS Philadelphia center bogged by tax form backlog
Processing delays at the IRS Philadelphia Regional Service Center stretch into weeks as a new Sperry Univac 1100 computer system and program changes slow 1040 1040A and other returns. By late March only about 35 percent of four million returns had been processed, delaying roughly $1.8 billion in mid Atlantic refunds and prompting calls for GAO scrutiny. Officials blame the computer setup and data transfer bottlenecks to magnetic tapes, with refunds potentially exceeding 10 weeks for some cases.
