Internal Revenue Service
As a bureau of the Department of the Treasury and as one of the world's most efficient tax administrators, the IRS role is to help the large majority of compliant taxpayers with the tax law, while ensuring that the minority who are unwilling to comply pay their fair share. (Source: www.irs.gov)
This forum will allow you to share and ask job-related questions about this bureau. This is NOT the place to ask tax questions.

Getting close to a month since I received my medical results back, but still waiting for an FO.
Trying my best to stay patient, but I am starting to get paranoid that I somehow missed a task or a form somewhere else in the onboarding process.
For those that are still waiting, did anyone else have the pre-filled date change on their form SF-61? Mine previously had a late June date, but it looks like it was just changed to an early August date (the due date did not change). Possibly a sign of some progress?

Without getting too specific my pre-filled date is in the coming months but I never checked it before, so I am unsure if it changed (is there a way to see that?). I did have medical follow ups that weren't submitted until mid-June so I likely have a longer wait than you do for an FO.

To those that have gotten final offers, did you have a background investigator come and talk to you and your neighbors? I have received medical clearance so just waiting for the final offer at this point.

I have received medical clearance so just waiting for the final offer at this point. That most likely won’t happen until near the end of or after FLETC. Most of my class either had the background investigator contact them while at FLETC or once they got back to the field office.

I submitted my medical follow up docs 3 weeks. Would it appropriate/professional to contact the Special Agent that interviewed me to check on the status of everything? (I’ve tried HR and they are non responsive).

I’m in the same situation. Radio silence since follow up. Not even a message that they received them.

I'm waiting as well. I submitted all my follow ups in the first week of June. They told me they received all the info and it's being reviewed. I finally followed up with CHS last week and they told me they never received one of my follow ups after initially confirming they did. So I had my doctor resend some of my paperwork in again yesterday and my info is being expedited for review. For those of you waiting for a few weeks, consider reaching out to CHS to see if they have everything they need. Edited by user Wednesday, July 6, 2022 8:20:33 AM(UTC)

Does anyone want to create a signal chat for the 2021 process? I recently joined one for HSI and it’s been pretty useful.

I know you guys leave soon for fletc. If ya didn't know you can bring your own eyes and ears for firearms. Eyes need to exceed the z287.1 rating and ears need to be the battery operated kind with volume control. If you have them bring them. I know from experience when I was down there with the BOP. Their glasses are so scratched up and fog and if you have the volume control ears it makes taking with instructors on the line so much better. Good luck guys and gals. I'll be down there it looks to be end of September.
Also bring white athletic socks. You need to wear white socks whenever in the FLETC physical attire and the ones they give are terrible.
