You are kidding, right? You can't even change your address on line on the IRS web site. The WSJ reported this month that the legacy code the IRS uses is so old, they can't even find people that are still alive that know it, since it dates from the 60s and 70s.

Dude, it's COBOL; it ain't that hard.

Even though I'm 90% certain an intern should be able to code some spaghetti that would work for most wsbtards.
