Our local office (Tallahassee) closed awhile back but I recently found out it had reopened (in a new location). 

You used to be able to walk in and talk to an agent in about five minutes, even take your docs there and they'd do your tax return for you.  Hard to believe.

I had a personal relationship with our local agent before they closed a few years ago.  I could walk in and discuss issues with her and she would also call me with questions or about forms.  The last time I went there, there was an armed officer sitting there to screen you before you got in.  It closed shortly after that.  Sweet memories. When it was a source of pride to be a tax preparer.

I went to a local IRS office to get something about 15 years ago (last time I went) and you had to go through a scanner just to get into the building (like the airport). It wasn't a sole IRS office building. I always wondered if that was appealing or unappealing to the rest of the tenants. I would think it would be a pia.
