Part 3/7:
The current administration's approach to the IRS aligns closely with directives from former President Donald Trump. Trump’s administration is expected to reduce the agency's employees further, with projections suggesting as many as 20,000 jobs could be eliminated soon. This contrasts sharply with previous Democratic efforts to bolster IRS staffing levels. Amidst this evolving landscape, the IRS has emphasized that the layoffs are part of a broader strategy to enhance efficiency and align with executive orders promoting workforce reductions.
