Get tax help from IRS employees this weekend in Kansas City
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Internal Revenue Service is hosting special Saturday hours this weekend to help Kansas City-area taxpayers with their questions.
The IRS announced it will open its Taxpayer Assistance Center, located inside Union Station, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday — with no appointments required.
Where’s my refund? These tax credits might be delaying it
Usually this Taxpayer Assistance Center (TAC) is only open Monday through Friday by appointment, but the IRS said it’s aiming to improve services this tax season.
“We are laser focused on delivering the best service possible for taxpayers. These Saturday hours are designed to help those with busy weekday work schedules get the help they need at a time more convenient for them,” IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said in a release.
“Funding from the Inflation Reduction Act has enabled us to expand our services, tools and resources for hard-working taxpayers, including these special Saturday openings.”
The IRS notes that its employees are not able to prepare tax returns for people, but taxpayers can receive in-person help from workers.
IRS has our tax data, so why can’t it prefill returns?
Make sure you bring the following documents when you visit:
Current government-issued photo ID
Social Security numbers or Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) for yourself and all members of your household
