Did you use the 9-digit ZIP Code for 1041 returns?  I wonder if IRS used that to identify mail they wanted to set aside until all the 1040's were processed.  They have to pay 3% interest on the refund returns -- they can borrow at 0.12% what they can't collect by opening the mail.  

Did anyone else notice the "Where's My Refund" IRS website is down for maintenance this weekend also?  Among other lies, it claims "We are processing all mail in the order we received it.."  That clearly doesn't apply to 1041's with checks enclosed.  And how do they know what order it was received, anyway?  A million pieces of mail here, a million there -- eventually, it gets confusing, trying to figure out when each pile arrived.
