The IRS will most likely continue to work, and tax enforcers will still collect their paychecks even if the partisan gridlock on Capitol Hill fails to resolve and the looming government shutdown becomes fact, an official said.
Doreen Greenwald, president of the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU), made the remarks in a press call on Sept. 18, noting that the IRS would probably use funds from the Inflation Reduction Act to remain fully operational in case of a shutdown and continue—without interruption—to go after people who don’t comply with the nation’s tax laws.
