IRS Currently Refilling Workforce Vacancies as Employee Shortage Threatens Mission-Necessary Functions
The IRS lost about 25% of its workforce this year through incentive-based resignation programs, forcing the agency to offer employees the chance to rescind their departures to fill in âcritical vacancies.â Employees are given five days to respond, and rescission needs mutual agreement.
Reports found that 7,315 probationary employees terminated were mostly âhigh-performersâ themselves. Another 3,317 employees remain under court injunctions or pending notices, leaving the IRS to stabilize employment amidst potential risks on mission-critical operations.

U.S. Treasury Department and IRS plans to withdraw the Disregarded Payment Loss (DPL) rules and other related dual consolidated losses. The rules aimed to prevent double deductions, however proved complex and expensive, and their withdrawal gives companies more flexibility.
