17 April 2000 - IRS help line

IRS: IRS Tax Facts. “If you have to ask, we can’t afford it.” How may I help you tomorrow?
taxpayer: Uh, this year is, um, 2000 or something, but my tax stuff says 1999 on it. How do I get the right forms?
IRS: Please hold.
soundtrack: [teletype noises]
IRS: Thank you for holding. You’ll be glad to know that one year more or less won’t hurt, because the IRS computers are stuck in 1978.
