U.S. Department of Government Efficiency recommends cutting nearly 20% of IRS staff

According to BlockBeats, on March 14, CNN reported that Musk's government efficiency department proposed to significantly reduce the size of the IRS, and by May 15 (a month after US tax day), nearly 20% of employees will be laid off.

President Trump ordered federal government agencies to submit "large-scale" layoffs by Thursday local time. According to a person familiar with the matter, the details of the IRS proposal have been published in an email from the government efficiency department and will be discussed at the agency leadership meeting on Thursday morning.

The latest round of layoffs will lay off nearly 6,800 employees, in addition to about 6,700 probationary employees who have been fired and 4,700 employees who have accepted the Trump administration's voluntary buyout program. (Jinshi)
