The Internal Revenue Service is holding special Saturday hours this weekend at eight Taxpayer Assistance Centers in California, including one in San Diego, to offer in-person help during peak tax season, the agency announced.
These special hours are part of the agency's efforts to improve taxpayer service. The IRS aims to accommodate filers who may need help but can't make it during regular weekday hours due to work and other commitments.
