The ongoing US government shutdown is forcing the IRS to furlough nearly 34,000 employees, cutting call centers, IT, and headquarters staff. Crypto taxpayers could face delays in filing, disputes, and audits, as reduced support slows responses. The agency emphasized that tax deadlines remain unchanged, including the October 15 extension.

Crypto tax queries are already complicated. If support staff are furloughed, expect massive delays and more confusion among traders this quarter.
