Plenty of people are trying to escape their war torn countries and you can't blame them.

I am waiting on tax forms to come as I do mine on paper. I don't see anything on the IRS website about what impact the shutdown will have on them. Does anyone know?
Yppej: I'm sorry that I don't have your answer, but could you tell me if they mail you the forms? I've been doing paper returns since our refund was stolen a few years ago, but I've printed the forms from the IRS and MA DOR websites. I no longer have access to the printer at the office and don't have my own printer, so if there is a better way than printing them at the library from the websites, I would love to hear it!
per,the UN 65,000,000 are displaced dues to forcible removal
22,500,000;refugees
10,000,000 stateless people. Who have no access to medical care, education etc.

what would Jesus do? Tell them to stay in their shithole countries and refugee camps? Or try to do something, even some little things to help. Oh wait, we need a tax cut more than anything so let’s cut foreign aid. And defund any agency that might also provide abortions to these incredibly sad lot of humans.
I went thru several shutdowns. They are all different and there is no way to tell what will be affected. However, bulk tax forms are not mailed by the IRS but by private contractors. If you requested something and it requires an IRS employee AND they are off next week, the work will just pile up.
Another way is to download the form to a USB stick and take to a printer, whether library, company or friend.
It is not a bulk order, just for myself. I called my library today but they don't have any forms yet. I don't want to waste my toner printing forms and instruction booklets.
About the shutdown - here's a positive take on it. My guess - my hunch, rather - is that it is not going to last very long. Why do I say this? Trump is polling very low these days and from what I'm reading online, more Americans are blaming the GOP for the shutdown than the Democrats. Assuming Trump can calm down and reach a reasonable state in private (?), it may dawn on him to minimize the length of time the Federal Government is partially shut down. We'll see - Certainly I have been known to be wrong before. Rob

in 2013 this what Trump tweeted when the government shut down.
“A shutdown falls in the President’s lack of leadership.
He can’t even control his own party and get people in a room.
a shutdown proves the President is weak”
funny how now it’s Schumer’s fault.
I fear you may be right.
Depending on the form, some of the instructions were just posted as of Jan. 19th. Normally, the forms are finalized by the 20th of December. I would think the printers may have started on them this weekend. I would recommend just downloaded and printing off the form and save the pdf of the manual.
