IRS ends most unannounced home visits over safety concerns, confusion about IRS imposters

The IRS is ending its practice of unannounced home visits by revenue officers in most cases.
The policy change aims to address safety concerns and confusion caused by scam artists posing as IRS agents.
Instead of unannounced visits, the IRS will contact taxpayers by letter to schedule meetings.
Limited unannounced visits may still occur in unique situations like summonses or seizures.
The National Treasury Employees Union supports the policy change to protect IRS workers.
