Talking taxes with the Internal Revenue Service is never easy. Scheduling an appointment to resolve tax problems isn't, either, according to a recently issued report.
Federal auditors made 36 telephone calls to IRS taxpayer assistance centers to schedule meetings when they could discuss tax issues but were able to set up only five appointments.
Of the 31 failed attempts, four IRS employees did not return calls, and the 27 employees who did "would not, for various reasons, allow the auditors to schedule appointments," according to the report by the Treasury inspector general for tax administration.
The inspector general ran the phone test to gauge whether taxpayers were receiving "quality customer service" when calling local IRS offices to schedule appointments.
The IRS suggests that taxpayers visit the agency's 400 assistance centers when they have complex tax issues, need to resolve tax problems, have questions about tax law or feel more comfortable talking to a person than clicking through the IRS Internet site.
