The Internal Revenue Service will issue refunds to taxpayers even if the U.S. government shutdown extends into the filing season, a decision that may reduce political pressure on Congress and President Donald Trump to reach a deal to reopen the federal government.
“Tax refunds will go out,” the acting director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, Russell Vought, told reporters at a briefing on Monday.
Thank God, for a moment I thought this shutdown might actually affect donors!
This significantly eases pressure on Trump to end the shutdown. This thing could go on for a fair bit longer (although maybe they could make it a shutdown in name only?).
