I recall once more the Beach Boys’ 1963 hit, as Tax Court will be closed on December 24, 2018. I recommend that my readers follow the Tax Court website for further details in the following days.

In the meantime, here is what the website says as at 12/23/18: ”In the event of a Federal Government shutdown at midnight December 21, 2018, the United States Tax Court will remain open for business on Wednesday, December 26, 2018. Please check this website often for updates on Tax Court operating status and trial information.

“If you have questions about a scheduled trial session during any Government shutdown, please call 202-521-0700 during normal business hours (8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Eastern time).”

So long as decisions, opinions, orders and press releases are being issued from The Glasshouse, your reporter will be on the job.

Merry Christmas.
