(2) Long Wait on the phone call.  (If any).

(3)Paper returns will NOT BE PROCESSED..... (1040X, etc...)

From a local new article:

Despite the shutdown of the federal government, the tax return you're owed for 2017 won't be affected as long as the shutdown doesn't last too long.

Internal Revenue Service released a contingency plan that explains how the agency will handle the filing season, which is supposed to begin on Monday, Jan. 29.

CNN Money reports the IRS is keeping 35,076 employees on the job, and that as part of the contingency plan, processing electronic returns, testing upcoming filing year programs, and computer operations to prevent the loss of data are IRS functions that will continue despite the shutdown.

Some functions the IRS will not perform include audits, return examinations, non-automated collections, and issuing refunds.

"Unless the shutdown drags on for weeks, the refund you're owed for 2017 likely won't be affected," CNN reports. "Why? The IRS already announced it wouldn't start accepting 2017 tax returns until January 29."

The Department of the Treasury and IRS can reassess how many people they need on the job, and what functions need to be performed, according to the report.
