| [WASHINGTONTIMES] The IRS is still collecting taxes during the government shutdown, but it isn't sending out refunds -- and it's also stopped complying with a subpoena to turn over documents to members of Congress who are investigating the agency's targeting of tea party groups. Both the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and the Ways and Means Committee have stopped getting documents from the IRS. |

| #3 The ridiculous argument of using one's payroll withholding and overpayment as a 'tax day' savings account just become even more ridiculous. Something on a par with a $5000. annual deductible health insurance plan. Good luck signing up those millennials. |

| #2 Also - IRS audits are suspended during the shutdown. Look at the bright side! |

| #1 I had to tell a client a $15K Fed. refund is being held up over this. He wasn't pleased. Of course, the obvious solution would have been for him to give me his tax information eight months ago... |
