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 “critical vacancies.” Employees are given five days to respond, and rescission needs mutual agreement.

Reports found that 7,315 probationary employees terminated were mostly “high-performers” 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.

🧼 COOL AF! (Cool Accounting Facts!)

Ever wondered how accountants closed financial statements before Excel got discovered?

Did you know that medieval accountants recorded financial transactions with goose-feather quills on sheepskin parchment before Excel was invented?

Quills weren’t just pretty feathers either: scribes carved financial transactions with knives, also utilized for erasing mistakes by scraping away dried-up ink.

So, next time your Excel spreadsheet freezes unexpectedly, take comfort with your priviledges - at least you didn’t need to chase a goose just to close books.

IRS and Treasury Withdraw Disregarded Payment Loss Rules, Easing Compliance for U.S. Businesses

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.

Notice 2025-44 extends transition relief for dual consolidated losses under the OECD/G20 GloBE Model Rules until 2028, delaying Pillar Two tax effects. This reduces compliance burdens for businesses and eases restructuring pressure, aligning rules with long-standing tax principles.
