Normally, tax forms are available by December 20th and I can figure fairly closely what mine will be. With the change/last minute stuff, they were not completely out until the day of the shutdown. So I now have all the forms and documents needed and it is pretty standard stuff for me. I get back a little in Federal, and owe a little to state (under $50). The federal will be deposited to my account as a tax shift, as it goes a good ways towards my property taxes at the end of the year. That provides a greater raise, then the little bit that we aren't being taxed (in payroll taxes) from the feds (but will show up on something else as taxes/fee's later). That % that I heard was coming back (never heard an official figure), I already have made an adjustment for and it is going into savings, that may go towards retirement, but for now, is going to be set aside to offset those future fee's I expect.
