Excerpt: “According to IRS records, 7,315 probationary employees received termination notices, and 4,128 employees were approved to accept the initial DRP. This is an 11 percent reduction to the IRS workforce, which had approximately 103,000 employees as of February 2025. Figure 1 shows the breakdown of the 11,433 IRS employees who were terminated because of their probationary status or approved to accept the DRP. We analyzed data from the IRS Human Capital Office and the Treasury Integrated Management Information System (TIMIS). These separations could impact certain IRS business units more than others. Figure 2 lists the Top 6 IRS business units affected. Figure 3 shows the percentage breakdown of separations by business units. Additionally, the separations disproportionately impacted employees in certain positions (e.g., job series). For example, the number of revenue agents declined by approximately 31 percent. Revenue agents conduct examinations (audits) by reviewing financial records of individual and businesses to verify what is reported. According to the IRS, in Fiscal Year 2023, examination activities recommended approximately $32 billion in additional tax assessments.” (footnote omitted)
