OGDEN, Utah (AP) — Officials say more than 1,000 Internal Revenue Service employees in Ogden are being called back to work to prepare for tax-filing season as the federal government shutdown continues.

The Standard-Examiner reports an Ogden labor representative for local IRS employees says initial information put the figure at 337, but that has since increased.

The representative says more than 1,000 IRS employees will be going back to work by next Monday.

Because of the shutdown, the furloughed workers going back still won't get paid, though they ought to get back wages once the shutdown ends.

Still, some worry how they'll get money to pay for gas to get to and from work and other expenses without a paycheck.

Jenny Brown, president of Chapter 67 of the National Treasury Employees Union, says, "I don't know what they're going to do."

Tax-filing season begins Jan. 28.
