IRS officially puts back-office employees on ‘involuntary’ details to handle filing season work

from The Federal Drive with Terry Gerton

The IRS is notifying back-office employees that they will temporarily cover frontline filing season work through this summer. Training for these detailed employees will begin nearly a month after the start of this year’s tax filing season. The agency’s taxpayer service division lost a significant number of employees last year. The IRS also fell short of its hiring goals this season. Federal News Network’s Jory Heckman has more. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
