The IRS has ended most unannounced visits to homes or businesses for unpaid taxes. Here's what taxpayers need to know.
"The revenue officers we represent will continue to efficiently and effectively carry out their mission of helping taxpayers meet their lawful tax obligations through other means of communication," Reardon said.
There are typically a few hundred of these types of visits each year, compared to tens of thousands of unannounced visits annually under the old policy, he said. Previously, unannounced visits were "a routine part of the job" for the agency's revenue officers, with 100,000 cases assigned each year, Werfel said. But it's unclear exactly how many unannounced visits occurred annually.
