And, Due to the current government shutdown the IRS has announced that there may be delays in processing income tax refunds. Therefore, to be safe, taxpayers should expect their refunds to come later this year. While there may be delays in processing income tax refunds the IRS will continue to process tax payments and estimated tax payments without delay. What do you need to know?
