The IRS Jackson Taxpayer Assistance Center will be open Saturday, March 11, 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.at 100 W Capital St.

The special opening is part of the IRS’s efforts to improve service this tax season. During the opening, taxpayers can receive face-to-face help from IRS employees without an appointment.

Normally, these centers are open during the week and appointments are needed. But walk-ins will be accepted for all routine services March 11, except for cash payments.

Tax return preparation is not a service provided by the IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers.

For questions about a tax bill, an IRS audit, or a tax problem that needs resolution, employees who specialize in those services will provide assistance. IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service employees may also be available to help with some issues.
