The federal government shutdown has now entered week three with no end in sight, but the Internal Revenue Service says tax refunds won’t be hindered. The agency will begin processing returns on Jan. 28 “and provide refunds to taxpayers as scheduled,” it said in a press release Monday. Despite the raging political battle, IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig said he and his staff will make sure no one is left hanging when it comes to returns. “We are committed to ensuring that taxpayers receive their refunds notwithstanding the government shutdown,” Rettig said. “I appreciate the hard work of the employees and their commitment to the taxpayers during this period.”The agency also delivered the news via Twitter on Monday evening.
