Ok, I received an email stating that my return had been accepted by I* R *S with the following message

As part of controlled IRS testing, a small number of federal returns will be transmitted to the IRS between January 23 and January 29, 2013. This is before processing officially begins on January 30. If you receive an acknowledgement during this timeframe, your return has been accepted by the IRS but your refund will not be processed early.

ok..so I proceeded to i r s.gov and clicked "where's my refund"..done this many times in past years..

THIS TIME, however, after clicking that, I got a pop up box that said

Use of this system constitutes consent to monitoring, interception, recording, reading, copying or capturing by authorized personnel of all activities. There is no right to privacy in this system.

I was supposed to click "ok"..I did not..I backed out..none of my info had been entered...

WTF???? can someone else go there and click the where's my refund a couple times and see if this happens to you???

Thank you!!!!

Abi, I'm having a small "senior moment" right now, but back about '08-09 this message came up. I think it was during the cash for clunkers period. Maybe someone else will remember? It was something to do with car financing. I remember everyone freaking out about the government being able to take control of our computers, if the link was clicked.

That was you authorizing the government to own your computer for clicking their link.

Thanks, AC. It seems to me the first sentence in the message is almost the same. They just took out the part about owning our computers. They can monitor EVERYTHING on your computer, the way I read it.
