IRS announces the CAF system will be out until 1/6/13. Hold off on those 2848s and 8821s, and your transcript requests and Electronic Account Resolution requests, tax pros. If you fax forms during the downtime, they will be manually processed, so don’t submit them again electronically after the system comes back. Says IRS: “The Practitioner Priority Service is available at 866-860-4259 if you have additional questions.”

Happy New Year, one and all.
