IRS Layoffs Impact Hundreds Across Syracuse, Philadelphia, Richmond
The IRS is undergoing significant layoffs as part of a broader initiative by the Trump administration to reduce the federal workforce, with nearly 7,000 positions nationwide affected. In Syracuse, 10 employees were laid off, while reports indicate that 400 probationary workers in Philadelphia received layoff notices, representing about 6-7% of the IRS's total workforce. Critics, including the National Treasury Employees Union, warn that these cuts will hinder the IRS's ability to effectively collect taxes and serve the public, particularly as the tax filing deadline approaches. Reports from Richmond also confirm layoffs of probationary employees, highlighting the emotional toll on affected workers and their families. The Biden administration has expressed intentions to bolster the IRS through an $80 billion investment, contrasting with the current cuts aimed at reducing federal spending. Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin commented on the need for efficiency in government while acknowledging the impact on local workers.
