Boyle Statement on Philadelphia IRS Layoffs

PHILADELPHIA, PA – Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02) issued the following statement in response to reports that hundreds of IRS employees were laid off in Philadelphia:

“Trump's mass firing of hundreds of IRS workers in Philly is a blow to these families, to our local economy, and to every taxpayer.

We're right in the middle of tax season — and these layoffs will mean longer wait times for our neighbors as they seek help from the IRS.

My office is always here to help. Any constituents who need help with their IRS refunds should call my office at (215) 335-3355 or visit my website.”
