The IRS will be open for business on Friday, August 30th (the Friday before the Labor Day weekend). The IRS postponed the scheduled furlough day, noting:
“We have made substantial progress in cutting costs. … Our progress is such that we have decided to postpone the furlough day scheduled for Aug. 30. We still have more work to do on the budget and cost-savings, so we will reevaluate in early September and make a final determination as to whether we will need another furlough day in September,” said Danny Werfel, IRS Acting Commissioner, in a message to IRS employees.
