The IRS is shut down, along with much of the rest of the federal
government, but unattended servers running on autopilot are sensing that
no progress has been made on taxpayers’ attempts to clarify disputed
and overdue bills, and so they are initiating asset seizure proceedings.
Even if this turn of events is sufficient to terrorize you into paying a
disputed bill, there’s no one at the IRS to accept your payment – and
of course, if you maintain that the bill isn’t correct, there’s no one
to discuss it with.
