"These visits created extra anxiety for taxpayers already wary of potential scam artists," IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said in a statement. "At the same time, the uncertainty around what IRS employees faced when visiting these homes created stress for them as well. This is the right thing to do and the right time to end it." |
The change reverses a decades-long practice by IRS Revenue Officers, the unarmed agency employees whose duties include visiting households and businesses to help taxpayers resolve their account balances by collecting unpaid taxes and unfiled tax returns.

Work from home as a drive-thru employee? |
The shift to remote work after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic wasn't confined to white-collar workers. |
Lower-paid service workers are also toiling remotely, including front desk receptionists, fast-food employees, laundry workers and tow truck dispatchers, albeit in lower numbers. |
Nearly 14% of employees in the bottom fourth of wage earners worked at home on an average day last year, below the 15.4% peak in 2021 but above the 9.5% mark in 2019, according to Labor Department figures released last month. By contrast, 56% of workers in the top fourth of earners worked remotely on a typical day last year. |
