The IRS announced on April 9 that it suspended processing all paper filed individual tax returns until further notice, and that its ability to process all other paper filed returns is “extremely limited.” This news comes shortly after reports surfaced that the IRS temporarily shuttered several offices at its national processing campus in Ogden, UT on April 8 as a result of a stay-at-home order resulting from the state’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The IRS also announced on April 9 that it postponed to July 15, 2020 the due date for the remainder of practically all other federal tax forms and “time sensitive actions” that it had not previously postponed. Delays in the processing of paper filed returns might also delay refunds related to recent tax changes enacted by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
