Republicans have been trying to starve the IRS for YEARS…..
Cutting up to 15,000 employees ?, ( there are about 90,000 IRS employees) who are new hired by Biden to INCREASE revenue for the Federal Government would set the agency back to where the Republicans have had it back in the day….
Of course this makes no sense because it means the government will collect LESS MONEY that it needs run, but Rich people will be able to breathe better knowing the Revenue Service will only be going after others besides them…
Furthermore?
They are being offer ‘early buy out’ AFTER the Tax season is over…..
The IRS will lay off thousands of probationary workers in the middle of tax season, according to two sources familiar with the agency’s plans, and cuts could happen as soon as next week.
This comes as the Trump administration intensified sweeping efforts to shrink the size of the federal workforce, by ordering agencies to lay off nearly all probationary employees who had not yet gained civil service protection.
It’s unclear how many IRS workers will be affected.
Previously, the administration announced a plan to offer buyouts to almost all federal employees through a “deferred resignation program” to quickly reduce the government workforce. The program deadline was Feb. 6, and administration officials said employees who accept will be able to stop working while still collecting a paycheck until Sept. 30.
However, IRS employees involved in the 2025 tax season were told they will not be allowed to accept a buyout offer from the Trump administration until after the taxpayer filing deadline, according to a letter sent recently to IRS employees….
…
The Biden administration invested heavily in the IRS through an $80 billion infusion of funds in Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act, which included plans to hire tens of thousands of new employees to help with customer service and enforcement as well as new technology to update the tax collection agency…..
Republicans want to cut IRS employees for the simple reason that most of them are liars and cheats and fewer IRS employees means the chances of them being audited and their cheating being exposed is lessened.
Agreed……
GOPer’s have been trying to cut the ass out of the IRS for decades…..
Let the Middle Class pay the Government Bills
Biden got the Service to collect Billions MORE from Rich people
Trump is on the case to help them out
Oh, and ain’t NEVER going to pay back the $75M He got hit with in the audit he failed back a decade or so ago
Crook running the government
