Throughout the tax season, individuals looking to frequent the Internal Revenue Service office in Jamestown for assistance have been turned away due to closed doors.

For over a month now, the walk-in office, located at 201 W. Third St., has been closed to patrons looking for tax help. The office remained closed to the public Tuesday.

A call to the Jamestown IRS office found that walk-in assistance hasn't been available since Jan. 3. No information was provided as to why the office shut down its walk-in office.

Individuals are told to either visit www.irs.gov, or call 800-829-1040 for individual tax information.

Those with questions pertaining to business taxes are told to call 800-829-4933. To schedule an appointment at the Buffalo Office, located at 130 S. Elmwood Ave., people should call 844-545-5640.

The Chautauqua County Industrial Development Agency and Planning and Economic Development Department are located next to the IRS. With a number of individuals coming into the office to inquire about the IRS' closure, the department has posted a notice which states they have no information regarding the matter.

Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Tom Reed, R-Corning, told The Post-Journal on Tuesday he's looking into the matter as he wasn't aware of the closure.
