IRS to cut 7,000 jobs as Donald Trump administration pushes federal downsizing

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is set to lay off around 7,000 employees across the US as part of the Donald Trump administrations effort to reduce the size of the federal workforce. The cuts, primarily affecting compliance staff with less than a years service, come at a time as tax season approaches. The move has raised concerns over its impact on tax collection and enforcement.
