White House press secretary Jen Psaki says the current level of customer service at the IRS is 'not what the American public deserves'
"As the Treasury Department and the IRS have said, the IRS right now has an unacceptable backlog, and the customer service that people are receiving is not what the American public deserves – and the president is very mindful of that," Psaki said. "Many of those challenges are related to the pandemic, but also due to years of underfunding from Congress."
White House Press Secretary Jennifer Psaki speaks during the daily briefing in the Brady Briefing Room of the White House in Washington, DC, on January 21, 2022.
