No Taxation Without Operation Act
This bill suspends the collection of certain federal income taxes during a partial or full government shutdown that occurs due to a lapse in appropriations.

The bill also exempts back pay from federal income taxes if it is received by certain federal employees or contractors who were not paid during a government shutdown and are subject to the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019.
The Department of the Treasury must issue guidelines for employers to ensure compliance with this bill for tipped, hourly wage, salaried, and all other covered employees.
