The Internal Revenue Service is preparing to lay off thousands of employees as soon as next week, according to three people familiar with the matter, as the Trump administration pushes to dramatically shrink the size of the federal work force.

The Office of Personnel Management, the federal government’s human resources department, ordered agencies across the government this week to terminate probationary employees, who are relatively new to their positions and do not enjoy as much job protection. It was unclear on Friday exactly how many I.R.S. employees would be affected by the order.

An I.R.S. spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment nor did a spokesman for the Treasury Department.

The I.R.S. has dramatically grown its work force in recent years, reaching roughly 100,000 employees, after the Biden administration pushed to revitalize the beleaguered agency. Republicans have long attacked the additional I.R.S. personnel as villains who harass middle-class taxpayers, with President Trump targeting the agency for an extended hiring freeze and pushing to repurpose some of its agents to help with immigration enforcement.

Elon Musk’s team of young software engineers and cost-cutters have also taken an interest in the agency. A member of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, Gavin Kliger, arrived at the I.R.S. headquarters on Thursday, according to people familiar with the matter.

What happens to the plans for the Harris "Unrealized Capital Gains" new tax?



What happens to the Harris plans for the ability to get Tens of Thousands of annual Tax Exemptions for Declaring your status as a POC, Trans, LGB, or Immigrant? What happens to the plan to Tax system officially codify Identity Politics?



What happens to the Harris plans to Political Punish by IRS Audits?

They had to try to rehire 300 people for the nuclear storage facilities. I guess their cuts went too far!

It’s a real shit show. They have no idea what they are doing.

Well Trump has been firing a lot of people that know what they are doing and replacing them with people that have NO idea of what is going on so why not fire people that control our nuclear arsenal?
And while we are at it replace them with people that don't or shouldn't have security clearances and have NO idea what they are doing?.

Does that make you sad?

Maybe you should have won the election.

But you didn't.

Did you, loser?
