As the effects of federal government budget cuts due to sequestration become a reality, we want to keep the dialogue open regarding next steps. Next week, we plan to issue official furlough notices. Some IRS employees will receive them via email, while many campus employees will receive hard-copy letters. Those in non-work status will receive letters at their home addresses. For your planning purposes, the first furlough days will be May 24, June 14, July 5, July 22 and August 30, with another two days possible in August or September.
All public-facing operations will be closed on these dates, including our toll-free operations and Taxpayer Assistance Centers.
Everyone is covered by this furlough, and that means everyone from the Acting Commissioner and executives to managers and employees.
Thanks again for your hard work during these challenging times.
--Steve Miller, Acting Commissioner
