The IRS shared that despite a partial government shutdown, all employees will continue working this week.
The agency’s employee emergency news webpage indicated, as of January 30, that all employees are exempt from furlough through February 7. It directs IRS employees to “report to work on their regular schedules.”
The IRS’ January 30 lapsed funding plan, likewise, specifies that 100% of the agency’s 74,942 staff members will continue working through February 7. Their compensation will be covered by supplemental funding provided by the Inflation Reduction Act.
