The IRS and Treasury want to assure the victims, families and others
affected by the tragedies in New York and at the Pentagon that the
agencies will do everything possible to provide administrative tax
relief quickly. Just as importantly, the IRS and Treasury will work
to minimize the distraction of tax issues during this terrible time.

the families, friends, government workers and others affected by
this attack.
