The IRS has initiated job terminations in its Taxpayer Experience Office and Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, as part of a larger workforce reduction. Employees were informed about the layoffs via an email and a town hall meeting. Established to enhance taxpayer services, the Taxpayer Experience Office was expected to improve online IRS accounts and communication with taxpayers. These cuts reflect a trend with other agencies prioritizing budget constraints over customer service, raising concerns over the continuity of taxpayer assistance and access to filing options.
The IRS is reducing workforce in its Taxpayer Experience Office and Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, affecting efforts aimed at improving taxpayer service.
This reduction in force is part of a broader initiative to cut thousands of IRS employees, streamlining operations amid ongoing criticisms of taxpayer services.
The IRS cuts follow reports that the Trump administration is also discontinuing the Direct File service, which was aimed at making tax filing more accessible.
