I’m subscribed to the IRS newsletters, guide wire etc but haven’t seen any email blasts about this. Actually called the Disaster Hotline/Special Services Line earlier to ask something and brought up the announcement. The agent I spoke with wasn’t even aware of it! Not often that *I* get to inform *the IRS* about something, especially their own announcement lmao

For some reason I don’t have the ability to add the link in this post but I’ll add it to the comments momentarily
