Um, no. Tax returns are still due, as are tax payments and deposits of estimated tax.

GeorgetownJD @georgetownjd.bsky.social · 16h

Tax returns are still due, tax payments and deposits of estimated are still due, employers must still withhold and remit employment taxes, and collections activities (liens, levies, etc.) continue during the shutdown.

Statutes of limitations are NOT suspended.

Pretty sure most of the US is ok with laying off the IRS workforce.

Wow no taxes! No one to rake them. Keep it up FDT!

@bsky.app Nearly half of an already depleted workforce is being furloughed. The IRS still expects you to file and pay, but don't expect taxpayer service or a refund to be processed. www.forbes.com/sites/kellyp...

IRS Halts Most Taxpayer Services As It Furloughs Nearly Half Its Workers

Tax filings and payments are still due and Criminal Investigation will stay on the job. But processing of refunds and amended returns will likely be delayed.

The IRS like many agencies around government, has weathered the shutdown by using existing funds to keep employees on the job. By Wednesday morning, those funds had run dry & the agency began sending furlough notices to tens of thousands of workers. Effective immediately, they would be sent home..

On Tuesday, the Trump admin said furloughed feds were not guaranteed back pay. On Wednesday, it sent notices saying they were

Just one day after taking a different argument, the Trump administration notes federal law guarantees back pay for employees sent home during a shutdown.

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.

I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.

Presidents have federalized a state's own Guard to use over its objection, most famously desegregation. And sometimes regular military has been used. But taking one state's soldiers and putting them in another state? This is a completely unprecedented breakdown of what the Union fundamentally is.
