Summary
The IRS is considering drastic workforce reduction plans that could cut up to half of its 90,000 employees through layoffs, attrition, and buyouts.
The Trump administration, working through Elon Musk’s DOGE, has already laid off 7,000 probationary (newly hired) employees and plans further reductions.
Former IRS commissioners warn that such cuts would make the agency dysfunctional: “Reducing the IRS’s resources will make our government less effective and efficient in collecting taxes Congress has imposed.”
The agency may also lend workers to the Department of Homeland Security for immigration deportation.
The elites want IRS less efficient and dysfunctional.
its been shown they can only go after people earning less than 100k/year if they are cut too much, and ignore the bigger fish like corporations and rich people.
Run government like a buisiness they said.
Lets fire everyone in accounts receivable they say.
I know what direction this “business” is going…
Fucking morons.
This should make tax season pressure free for new families, given the sudden uptick in octuplets birthed in the previous tax year. It’s nice not to have to worry about getting audited.
Besides, the IRS is definitely going to get turned into a political weapon, given that they’ve already accused Democrats of that, this is one of their next projections.
It’s dysfunctional now. I’ve been dealing with a problem with my 2018 return because of mistake by my preparer. I tried multiple times over a two year period to reach someone on the phone with no success. On my last attempt I got to a person after 1 hour 45 minutes on hold. I sent the requested documents in November 2024 and still haven’t received so much as an acknowledgement in the mail.
