Thanks for the blast from the past ... I vaguely remembered this about the third party issues slowing things up a bit.
Hopefully the IRS will get the Portal open AND FULLY OPERATIONAL SOON .... but back in 2008 the IRS did not also have an active tax season & a pandemic to deal with so if they can pull off a working portal in a timely manner is yet to be seen. Everyone needs to be patient and expects bugs/glitches to happen.
