Reportedly, The Government Shutdown Won’t Impact Tax Returns Or FAFSA

During this government shutdown, millions of people have been unsure on the status of their tax returns, as well as federal aid for school.

While most government employees have had to work during the shutdown without pay, this only added to the tax return and financial aid inquiries. Both of which help out millions of people to get by.

Reportedly, tax returns will still go out during this government shutdown. “Tax refunds will go out,” Russell T. Vought, acting director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, told reporters in an afternoon briefing. According to the New York Times. However, the IRS has NOT announced the official filing date.

FAFSA took to social media as one way to address the public during concerns of impact during the government shutdown.

“FYI: Some of you are asking about your aid during the partial government shutdown. Our department was funded so there is *no* impact on your aid. FAFSA forms continue to be processed as normal. If you have questions about your status, talk to your school’s financial aid office.”
