The Trump administration's recent decision to lay off about 6,700 employees from the IRS, representing 8% of its workforce, has emerged as a significant concern given the ongoing tax season. As individuals and corporations approach filing deadlines, the cuts come at a precarious time, complicating the processing of millions of tax returns and refunds. Meanwhile, Congress is gearing up to discuss new tax laws, including potential extensions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. With fewer staff to manage the impending changes, remaining IRS employees face a daunting workload that raises issues of efficiency and service quality for taxpayers and accountants alike.
The Trump administration's decision to lay off 6,700 IRS employees during tax season is criticized as poorly timed, especially with new tax laws on the horizon.
As Congress prepares to debate significant tax law changes, the IRS's remaining staff, already demoralized and short-staffed, face an overwhelming workload that could frustrate taxpayers and professionals alike.
