The Internal Revenue Service will close all of its public operations on five days from now through August because of employee furloughs, Acting Commissioner Steven Miller informed employees in a memo in mid-April. The tax agency will be closed and almost all employees will be furloughed on May 24, June 14, July 5, July 22 and August 30, Miller wrote. The closing will affect operations such as the IRS toll-free lines and taxpayer assistance centers. As many as two more furlough days may be needed in August and September, Miller wrote.
