Here
is an update on the situation at the IRS.
The
IRS has recalled certain employees back to previously closed IRS offices to
handle what it calls “mission-critical functions” . These employees will open
mail that has been held for weeks, process paper tax returns that may offer
refunds to taxpayers, work on returns with refundable credits, answer
taxpayers' questions on the toll-free lines and perform “Income Verification
Express Service” and certain lien/levy functions.
There is no indication of how
many employees have returned or which phone lines are now available and for
what hours.
So,
paper returns will be begin to be processed again. But at a much slower pace than in normal
times.
