The Department of Government Efficiency is reportedly planning significant layoffs at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as part of a budget deficit reduction initiative. Sources indicate about 9,000 workers, mostly in probation, may be dismissed. The cuts, however, come amidst historical efforts to bolster IRS enforcement against high-income tax evaders. Meetings between Elon Musk's associates and IRS leadership are already underway, suggesting major shifts are on the horizon that could affect taxpayer services and enforcement capacities, raising concerns about the implications of these changes on federal revenue.
The Department of Government Efficiency is set to hobble the ability of the Internal Revenue Service to collect taxes, which contradicts efforts to reduce the federal budget deficit.
Associates of Musk's team are beginning to meet with high-ranking IRS officials about what could prove dramatic changes to the tax agency.
