IRS hires 4,000 employees to help with upcoming tax season
The Internal Revenue Service is preparing for the upcoming 2023 tax season by hiring 4,000 new customer service representatives to help answer phones and provide other services. These new employees are part of a much wider IRS improvement effort tied to the Inflation Reduction Act funding approved by Congress this summer.
