Thousands of IRS workers had yet to show up this week after being recalled for the tax filing season that is due to start Monday, including many who have claimed a financial hardship exemption.
The IRS called back 26,000 staffers to work without pay in a key division during the partial government shutdown, but less than half, around 12,000, actually reported by Tuesday, a Hill Democratic aide told POLITICO. IRS officials briefed the House Appropriations Committee on Thursday.
