IRS increases enforcement, decreases back-office jobs

California CPA, March-April, 2004

The IRS will eliminate thousands of back-office jobs and add more front-line positions in a far-reaching restructuring plan.

The restructuring, slated for 2005, would close the Memphis, Tenn., tax return processing center, which has about 2,400 employees. The IRS plans to consolidate back-office processing for exam, collection and insolvency cases, centralizing 92 locations into four.

The IRS says that the resulting savings will allow it to fill 2,200 new positions, including criminal investigators, revenue agents and revenue officers.
