BLOG: IRS HOLDS WEEKEND OPEN HOUSES
By Jim Donovan: Taxpayers who may have difficulty scheduling a visit to an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center during normal weekday business hours can visit the IRS office located at 600 Arch Street on Saturday, February 26 and Saturday, March 26, 2011, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
The IRS will host two Saturday Open Houses during the income tax filing season to provide free assistance to taxpayers who need help getting information required to file their tax returns. Help with account questions, such as collection or examination issues, is also available during Open House. In some instances virtual assistance will be offered, taxpayers will be assisted over the telephone by IRS employees who are working in other offices around the country.
In addition to the normal array of services, limited help preparing tax forms is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
