I spoke to the IRS this week. We are waiting for a 13k refund. Crazy how late it is. It’s difficult to begin work on the current return when this is in limbo. Another thing to thank our administration for.
For the record, the main irs building in DC is essentially shutdown. The entrance may be staffed with x-ray machines and security, but no employees work there.
Any IRS responses or activity currently flows thru satellite offices.
[this is per citizen reporters reporting direct from DC. most other federal buildings are similar, though with a few exceptions]
