| Yikes! The gov't shutdown could cause 2019 Earned Income Refund delays |
| 2019-01-05 |
| [CNBC] As the partial shutdown of the federal government hits the two-week mark, a new worry has emerged: the possibility that some tax refunds may be delayed. Congress and President Donald Trump have been in a standoff over funding for a border wall, while about 800,000 federal employees are furloughed or working without pay. The House, now led by Democrats, passed legislation Thursday night to end the shutdown; the president, however, could still veto it even if the Senate acts to approve it. |

| #7 Earned income tax is a misnomer. Credit recipients do not pay income taxes. It is welfare and nothing earned about it. |

| #4 But they are still taking in taxes, so that’s ok. We always send ours in return receipt, but that might be more important this year to document that they did indeed get it, assuming the House Democrats stick to their guns that long. |

| #3 Refunds of every stripe are being held up during this 'government shutdown'. Further, the IRS instituted new fraud procedures last year that will hold up refunds if there's a mismatch of W-2 information. I'm still chasing one refund from last year for a client - that's been going on for nine months now. |
