IRS Closed on Furlough Days
As a result of the federal government’s sequester (budgetary constraints), the IRS will be closed on May 24, June 14, July 5, July 22, and August 30. This means that all of its toll-free hotlines and offices will be closed on these days when IRS workers will be furloughed.
If you need to contact the IRS about a particular action, such as making your second estimated tax payment for 2013 (which is due on June 17), be sure to take the IRS closures into account. The closures do not extend the time for taxpayer action.

Withholding
An amount taken from income as a prepayment of an individual’s tax liability for the year. In the case of wages, the employer withholds part of every wage payment. Backup withholding from dividend or interest income is required if you do not provide the payer with a correct taxpayer identification number. Withholding on pensions and IRAs is automatic unless you elect to waive withholding.
