IRS Employee Purge Scheduled for Thursday Could ‘Disrupt Tax-Filing Season’

A scheduled purge of potentially thousands of Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employees scheduled to begin Thursday could “disrupt tax-filing season,” Politico reported on Wednesday evening.

According to the outlet and others, employees who are relatively new to the agency are expected to be hit hard by staffing cuts days after Elon Musk’s DOGE sought access to IRS computers. Politico reported...

Ellis told IRS employees on a video call, “We received notification today that employees in SB/SE who are on probation are scheduled for termination.”

In a separate call, she told workers she could not promise staffing cuts would not affect tenured employees.

According to The New York Times, as many as 6,000 IRS employees could be out of a job by the end of the week.

What they mean is political operatives in the IRS will use this as an excuse to sabotage peoples returns so they can blame President Trump.

Whatever happened to the 87,000 armed IRS agents that were supposed to be hunting us down?

Lol, no it won’t. Dead wood gets slashed and the rest are incentivized to do their jobs better.

I have personal experience with their lazy ways and lackluster abilities.

Yes. This is clearly sabotage. Dismissing agents that Biden added has no effect.

Returns filed online are never touched by a human bureaucrat. All is done automatically by computer.

They can try, but they are being watched, and Trump will fire them as he has fired other insubordinate apparatchiks.

I remember when the LAAP-dog media used to report what happened, not speculate on what might happen.

If they are probationary, it means they have only been employed a year or so...

That means taxes can be done just as fast as they were a year or so back...
