IRS employees do not have it easy.
The IRS has been slimming down in many ways. Last year, the agency had lost 11 percent of its workers. Vital office employee positions, such as secretary positions, have had a hiring freeze for four years. This hiring freeze has impacted all employees because they must take on additional duties along with their everyday work schedules. Furthermore, 40 percent of customer service calls during tax season will be put on hold or through to someone else, in many cases over an hour. Lastly, IRS employees have strict travel restrictions in place.
So what does this mean for people with tax problems?
-
Longer hold times or more frequent disconnections for taxpayers calling the IRS.
-
Denial of requests due to excessive work load of IRS employees.
-
Negative employee morale, leading to unpleasant customer service aid.
-
Increased amount of stress for taxpayers.
