IRS Chief: 53% of Agents Work from Home Full Time

In testimony to the Senate Finance Committee today, IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig said that over half of the agency’s employees work full time from home.

Rettig said: “53% of the employees are in a full-time telework capacity. The rest of the employees either have a blended capacity or they are onsite.”

In a perhaps not unrelated statement, Rettig said the agency is only picking up the phone “19 to 20 percent” of the time.
