APNewsBreak: IRS recalling 46,000 workers to handle taxesWASHINGTON (AP) — The Internal Revenue Service is recalling about 46,000 of its employees furloughed by the government shutdown — nearly 60 percent of its workforce — to handle tax returns and pay out refunds. The employees won't be paid. With the official start of the tax filing season coming Jan. 28, the Trump administration has promised that taxpayers owed refunds will be paid on time, despite the disruption in government services caused by the partial shutdown now in its fourth week. There had been growing concern that the shutdown would delay refunds going out because the money wouldn't be available for them from Congress. Last week, the administration said customary shutdown policies will be reversed to make the money available and refund payments on time possible. Pitiful and disgraceful. A gross injustice to those poor workers. Let every questionable return slide by then , do not work hard for zero pay 😠

IRS to waive penalties for under-withholding after Trump tax changesThe Internal Revenue Service will waive penalties against taxpayers who withheld too little of their pay for taxes last year. Wait, I thought this was a tax cut, so how can I under-withhold? Typo in 4th paragraph: You mean state AND local taxes, right? Not LAND local... 🤔 there were stories last year about the administration cooking the withholding tables to make it look like many people were getting lower taxes. Weird to see this now. 🧐

I.e. we may not have taken as much out of your paycheck as we should have so that you would think you got more of a “tax-cut” than you really got. But those were just withholdings, now it’s time to pay your actual taxes! WAIT JUST A F’ING MINUTE..... IF WE ALL GOT OUR TAXES REDUCED - WHY IS THIS NECESSARY?
