Important Announcement Regarding the Government Shutdown (updated 11-14-25):
The government is back open, but some of their processes and services may still be delayed. Taxpayers are still required to meet filing and payment deadlines, but refunds will only be issued to individual taxpayers (and only if the return is filed electronically and is error-free, and the refund is direct deposited) according to a statement released by the IRS on October 21, 2025. All tax deadlines remain in effect, and the IRS will continue to process electronically filed returns. Paper returns won’t be processed until full government operations resume, although checks sent in with these returns will be deposited. The IRS will generally not be responding to taxpayer correspondence during the shutdown and will not be processing applications or determinations for text-exempt status or pension plans. (please allow for slow response times as the government has just reopened)
Potentially slow response times/delays:
-taxpayer assistance centers
-taxpayer advocate services; and
-independent office of appeals
The following services are open:
-limited IRS telephone customer service (automated telephone applications are still open)
-automated tools that provide transcript services and full-service transcript services for disaster only
-testing and preparation activities for the 2026 filing season
-IRS income verification express service (aka IVES); and
-criminal investigation activities
