FRESNO IRS PROCESSING CENTER CLOSING


Lee B

Recommended Posts

"The Internal Revenue Service plans to close its paper return processing center in Fresno, California, permanently at the end of this month, so taxpayers and tax professionals in some Western states will need to begin using a new mailing address.

With the change, taxpayers located in Alaska, California, Hawaii, Ohio, and Washington state who previously filed their federal tax returns with Fresno should now mail their returns to the Ogden, Utah, processing center.

 

The Ogden address for filing paper individual returns is:

Department of Treasury
Internal Revenue Service
Ogden, UT 84201-0002

 

The IRS plans to maintain a presence in Fresno with many other operations still working at full capacity, but the impending consolidation will enable the IRS to streamline operations and make better use of existing space.

When the consolidation was announced in September 2016, there were approximately 3,000 employees who worked at the paper processing center in Fresno. Since that time, the IRS said it has taken steps to provide training and find continued employment opportunities for many of the impacted employees. Others have chosen to retire or separate from the IRS.

The agency is also maintaining a Fresno submission processing consolidation update page on IRS.gov."

Scarcity of resources continues.  It is important to note that the shortage created is gone, and has not been replaced at another location.

One of my CPE lecturers (and a great one at that) is Chris Bird from Champagne/Urbana Illinois.  He said that the entire IRS region below Springfield lost their only field auditor.  The personnel requisition called for a graduate with a Bachelor's Degree.  Did not have to be in Accounting, Math, Taxation, or anything relevant.  They could have hired a candidate with a degree in Sociology or Physical Education, I suppose.

No wonder we're having headaches with the IRS.
