Since we do have an important deadline approaching, October 15th, you may be wondering if you will be able to file your returns on-time, or if you’ll experience any delays with regard to getting an expected refund.

The IRS is not currently affected by the US government shutdown. According to IRS FY2026 Lapse Appropriations Contingency Plan at www.irs.gov:

Section 10301 of the Inflation Reduction Act, Pub. L. 117-169, provided supplemental appropriations available through September 30, 2031, for all IRS appropriations accounts. With this funding the IRS will not experience a lapse in appropriations on October 1, 2025, and normal IRS operations will continue. 

If you need assistance preparing and filing your 2024 individual income tax returns, both federal and state, A-Team Accounting can help.
