ohhh.... I need to copy and paste this!

The Privacy Acr of 1974, states that the IRS (or any Fed Agency) must inform employees the reasons why they are requesting information, how it will be used, and what could happen if they don't provide it.

I played for a few years, but I haven't jumped in since just before Final Shape

That is very true.

the class was in Atlanta. I'm in Austin but one of our instructors was helping teach the Atlanta class.

I spent 11 years on phones or teaching the new hires myself. And the new hires are all seasonals anyway. Letting them go now is a complete waste of resources.

we do..... we never have enough people to answer all the calls.

They just walked an entire CSR class out that just spent 12 weeks learning how to answer refund question calls.

I feel that! At least I've got all my records accessible, just in case.

@alt-irs.bsky.social You are not alone. I and my coworkers are also serving the taxpayers per the IRS Mission for as long as we're allowed to do so.
