Accounting technology leader offers reliable tax payment automation amid reduced IRS staffing and potentially delayed operations

MIAMI, FL, October 13, 2025 (EZ Newswire) -- As the U.S. government shutdown enters its third week, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced it is furloughing nearly half of its workforce, a move expected to cause significant slowdowns in tax operations right at one of the busiest times of the tax year. According to the agency, about 34,000 IRS workers are being sent home, while another 39,870 remain on duty to maintain essential services.

Call center staff, IT workers, and most headquarters employees will be affected, creating potential delays in processing, customer support, and implementing new tax law changes. Taxpayers should expect increased wait times, backlogs, and slower communication until funding is restored.

That’s why Remitian, a company that has developed the world’s first automated tax payment system, is stepping into help. With IRS operations reduced, Remitian’s automated tax payment system is providing firms and taxpayers a secure and reliable way to stay compliant. Unlike many systems that depend on the federal EFTPS, Remitian payments will continue to post on time, regardless of IRS staffing levels. This eliminates a major source of stress and allows businesses to focus on the bottom line, not the shutdown.

“This shutdown highlights how fragile traditional tax payment systems can be,” said Solon Angel, CEO of Remitian. “When government functions pause, compliance shouldn’t. Our clients rely on us to keep payments moving, deadlines met, and errors out of the equation, no matter what’s happening in Washington. That’s what Remitian was built for.”

Remitian users can:

• See exactly when payments are made and schedule them ahead of time to avoid delays.
• Prevent costly mistakes with built-in error-checking tools. Which is especially important while IRS support is limited.
• Access Remitian’s Tax Help Line (1-877-8REMIT8) for guidance during the shutdown.
