Internal Revenue Service is offering walk-in hours at dozens of Taxpayer Assistance Centers across the U.S. on Saturday, as part of a broader effort by the backlogged agency to provide better service to taxpayers.
TACs are typically not open on weekends, but the agency announced last month that certain locations would offer Saturday face-to-face availability on the second Saturdays in February, March, April and May."Being open on select Saturdays is offered for people to get the help they need when they need it," IRS Wage and Investment Division Commissioner and Taxpayer Experience Officer Ken Corbin said in a statement. "We know that many taxpayers work during the week or have other obligations that make it difficult to get away to take care of their taxes during our routine business hours," he continued, adding, "We're here to help, and people don't need an appointment during these special Saturday hours."FILE IMAGE - The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) building in Washington, DC, on Feb.

The federal tax collection agency also reminded folks to come prepared if they do visit one of the TACs by bringing along a government-issued photo ID, social security cards for members of their household, and any IRS notices or other pertinent documents.
