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)

My HR person said I should hear something next week as personal security is backed up and the they want to add more people to the 12/06 start date. They also stated once personal security conducts their review, my FO will be sent out.

Has everyone who's waiting on their FO completed their e-qip yet? I haven't received an invite to fill mine out. I got my TO 10/12, did fingerprinting on 11/1, and my start date is 12/06.

I talked to the HR person that set up my interview today and it sounds like the HR team on the hiring side of things are off today. It also says on USA jobs "You've been hired." Hopefully Monday we will hear something? I wonder if they will allow us to push our start date at all? Similar situation here, but I will not turn in my two- week notice, unless I have received the firm offer.

I have a similar timeline as you.

I am waiting on my FO and my e-qip as well. I have a similar timeline as you. I’m an external applicant - it’s my understanding e-quip won’t come until you’re officially hired and are actively working at the IRS. I did my fingerprinting right after I accepted to the TO. Here’s my timeline: Interview: 8/17 TO: 9/1 Fingerprint email from sponsor (HR): 9/2 Fingerprinting: 9/9 Still have not received an FO - waiting on fingerprints.

In my new hire portal it says the e-qip was due on 11/02 but my TO says to submit it by whichever date their background investigations team tells me. I tried asking my HR contact about this but they haven't been responding... I'm guessing they would tell me something similar to what others here have said though.

Where in the onboarding portal does it say e-quip due 11/2? Is that under tasks somewhere? I can check my portal just to be sure.

Same situation here minus start date, hoping I'll hear something next week from them about the eQIP or anything at this point.

Yes, it's under tasks. The due dates might be different for everyone depending on when they received their TOs, but I don't think they're set in stone. I couldn't schedule my fingerprinting until a few weeks after it was "due" but this didn't cause any issues. Edited by user Friday, November 12, 2021 11:50:35 AM(UTC)

I couldn't schedule my fingerprinting until a few weeks after it was "due" but this didn't cause any issues. Hmm weird - I don’t have e-quip as a task. I have zero pending. All my forms and acceptance of tentative offer is all done. Maybe it’s different for external applicants v. Internal? I just reached out to my HR contact and she’s hoping to hear something by Monday - they don’t work the weekends (I don’t think) so that’s interesting. Fingers crossed.

I asked about my 1 pending that’s been there since I finished all the initial paperwork. I was told it won’t be assigned until background/security check is complete. Originally Posted by: Sally818  I got my e-qip this morning! Still waiting on the FO. Hoping it comes today. Just wanted to give y'all the update of things moving along! So inconsistent the way things seem to be going. I’m in the boat that was informed that the e-qip wouldn’t come until after we are hired. This process has been something else. I know it is really inconsistent. I feel like since I got the e-qip my background check is done so just not so patiently waiting for the FO. I have to put my notice in at work. Keep us updated on the statuses if anyone is getting their FO!

I have gotten like Eqip but no communication from HR or FO. Did you reach out HR first? I haven't been able to get ahold of anyone in HR.

I have gotten like Eqip but no communication from HR or FO. Did you reach out HR first? I haven't been able to get ahold of anyone in HR. I emailed the POC who initially sent me the offer a few weeks ago and she told me that they are backed up on fingerprinting and that hopefully EQIP would be soon. Reached out again last week and no reply, but the VM I got said it was in response to email I sent asking about if start date had been moved. So idk. This whole process has been kind of nerve wracking.
