The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is undergoing major workforce reductions under President Donald Trump's administration, with more than 11,000 employees either given buyouts or terminated. A disproportionate number of those affected are tax auditors, with nearly one-third, or approximately 31%, having left the agency through March. This decrease in personnel is linked to the downsizing of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has contributed to the departure of over 3,600 revenue agents responsible for tax collection. These changes have caused notable disruption at the top levels of the IRS, according to reports from the U.S. Treasury Department's watchdog and the agency's inspector general.
