The IRS is set to lay off around 7,000 probationary employees, primarily in compliance roles, starting Thursday. This decision is part of the Trump administration's strategy to shrink the federal workforce, targeting employees who have served less than one year and lack civil service protection. This move raises concerns about its impact on tax collection, particularly with the IRS's mandate to pursue high-wealth tax evaders. Despite recent assurances to IRS employees about job security until after tax season, layoffs are imminent, with many affected employees being from diverse racial backgrounds and women making up a significant percentage of the workforce.
The IRS will lay off approximately 7,000 probationary employees nationwide, as part of the Trump administration's efforts to reduce the federal workforce's size.
These layoffs focus primarily on compliance workers, crucial for ensuring taxpayer adherence to tax codes and regulations as part of the IRS's ongoing duties.
