IRS Employees to return to work

[Lee B]

"Acting IRS Commissioner Melanie Krause said in a call Wednesday that the agency will give these employees the option to return to their jobs by April 14 — the day before the tax filing season deadline — according to IRS employees familiar with the call.

The IRS also sent an email Wednesday afternoon, notifying the approximately 7,000 probationary employees it recently fired.

“You are receiving this email as one of approximately 7,000 probationary employees who were separated from service and have been reinstated in compliance with recent court orders,” the email states. “At this time, while you remain on administrative leave, you will soon receive instructions for how to return on full-time duty by April 14."

It will be interesting to see how many actually return to work? 

I am somewhat encouraged that they are following the court orders.

Would be helpful for taxpayers if the employees who would be staffing the phones or otherwise interacting with TPs had an option to return before the 14th.  Too late to help anyone with questions on filing.  But yes, at least they're complying somewhat.
