If you filed for an extension on your tax returns, be warned that they are still due by the deadline. The IRS issued a notice that the October 15 deadline still remains for taxpayers who received an extension regardless of the fact that the government is still in a partial shutdown.  Even though you must file your tax returns and pay any taxes due, do not expect a tax refund any time soon.  Tax refunds will be delayed due to the shutdown.
