Undeadly force would be necromancy.
And this is a nothingburger. The deadly force clause always accompanies the requirement to carry a firearm. Most govvie job ads are laden with copypasta like this.

Sorry, I was slightly wrong. This isn't just a nothingburger. The article is also effective libertarian clickbait. -

Didn't know the IRS routinely carried guns.
I know they have stockpiled at least 5,000,000 rounds of ammo.

It’s not so much that “the IRS routinely carries guns”. It’s that every federal department has its own enforcement arm.
