"The percentage of Internal Revenue Service employees who work from home plummeted from 65% to 25% last year after President Trump ordered federal employees to return to in-person work."
"On Jan. 20, 2025, President Trump issued his Return to In-Person Work directive, ordering the heads of all executive branch departments and agencies to 'as soon as practicable, take all necessary steps to terminate remote work arrangements and require employees to return to work in-person...on a full-time basis.'"
"As of May 2025, significantly fewer IRS employees reported teleworking, declining from 65% to 25% between the pay periods ending March 8 and May 3, 2025."
The IRS saw a significant decrease in remote work, with employees working from home dropping from 65% to 25% after a directive from President Trump. The directive mandated a return to in-person work, allowing department heads to grant exemptions. Prior to January 2025, telework and remote work were permitted, but all agreements were canceled effective March 8, 2025. New telework agreements could only be established under specific categories. By May 2025, around 70,000 IRS employees reported approximately 2 million daily time charges for in-person work.
