The Internal Revenue Service is writing up plans to cut up to half of its 90,000 person staff, according to a report from the Associated Press. This comes as the Trump administration has been working to cut back on the government and make it more efficient.
According the AP, the layoffs are part of the Trump administration’s plans to shrink the government with the Department of Government Efficiency. The IRS has around 90,000 employees across the agency, and around 7,000 probationary IRS employees were already out of the job in February.
IRS employees, like most other federal workers, were offered “deferred resignation program” buyout deals, where they could resign and receive full pay for several months while they look elsewhere for work.
