NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The US federal government shutdown is officially the longest on record. With no end in sight, and negotiations in Washington at a standstill, 800,000 government workers continue to go without pay, while federal agencies like the IRS cut back on their duties. As the shutdown rolls on, taxpayers have been left wondering: what does it mean for tax season?
Recently, Mark Steber, Chief Tax Officer of Jackson Hewitt, teamed with YourUpdateTV to discuss the potential impact of the government shutdown and recent tax reform on your tax refund.

It’s the first tax season following the largest tax reform in over 30 years and now the government shutdown has added an entire layer of confusion. According to a recent survey by Jackson Hewitt, 45.3% of people do not think tax reform will impact them. Since tax reform impacts every single taxpaying citizen, there may be a lot of surprised taxpayers once they go to file.
