“The U.S. Internal Revenue Service said on Friday that it has stopped initiating new asset seizures from tax delinquents during the government shutdown and is enforcing seizures only in ‘extremely limited’ instances.  During the shutdown, the ‘IRS is not sending out levies or liens,’ an agency spokeswoman said in a statement to Reuters.  IRS staffers who assist delinquent taxpayers in defending themselves from collectors have been furloughed, while some IRS tax collectors who pursue individuals and businesses that are delinquent are still working through the shutdown.  The shutdown, now in its fourth day, has furloughed more than 90 percent the IRS’s 94,000-person workforce.”
