The IRS plans to hire 10,000 new full-time workers to play a direct role in helping the agency reduce its backlog of millions of unprocessed tax returns and other mail from individual and business taxpayers, according to the leader of the union that represents most of the IRS workforce.
The National Treasury Employees Union “has received notification that the IRS has been granted Direct Hire Authority for roughly 10,000 entry-level positions in submission processing and accounts management, presumably to help address concerns that the agency’s hiring process is difficult and slow,” said the union’s national president, Tony Reardon.
The hiring process, first reported by The Washington Post, is scheduled to run through Dec. 31, 2023.
