Direct Pay to IRS in limbo. Wish I wasn't pondering chances that "Big Balls" planted a bug to re-route payments....

Grr. No confirmation number, but no clear message like “your payment was not processed”, either. My account number and routing number were sent, and next screen was a server error message.

The mobsters had hold of multiple government agencies and were messing with payment systems…
Most likely the server error message means my payment didn’t go through.. but without a confirmation number, i can’t check.

I did them a couple of weeks ago, so no sense sending the money early, especially since that stupid tax cut didn't help me owe any less.
