IRS may lay off 15,000 workers: report
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is preparing to lay off as many as 15,000 employees amid tax season.
The layoffs are part of a broader effort by President Donald Trump and billionaire and presidential assistant Elon Musk to shrink the federal workforce.
Sources told ABC News the job cuts could be implemented this week, though the full impact remains unclear.
Affected employees reportedly do not work directly on tax processing, but their roles are closely tied to the agency’s core operations.
One veteran who was fired just two years before retirement told ABC he felt “betrayed” by the decision.
The federal job cuts have sparked opposition from Democrats, labor unions, and advocacy groups.
U.S. media says more than 60 challenges to the administration’s actions are pending.
