The Internal Revenue Service Taxpayer Assistance Center in southwest Houston closed unexpectedly Saturday, leaving hundreds of Houstonians in need of last-minute help with their taxes... stranded.
Saturday, the line stretched close to half a mile with hundreds queued up for help, only to find a sign on the door that said, ‘THIS OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED TODAY.’
Angela Harris lives in Conroe and drove down early Saturday morning. When she saw the line, she left. She came back hours later only to see the CLOSED sign. “Way back in February, she filed in February,” Angton said. “We didn’t find out until March that she had to come and verify herself.”“My grandmother works on Saturdays. She took off today to get here, and she can’t keep taking off to come here, and then you come here, and this is what you get. It is really sad they allow senior citizens to have to come here and stand in line.
