The US Department of Efficiency recommends a reduction of nearly 20% in the IRS workforce.

BlockBeats News, March 14th, according to CNN reports, the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency proposed a significant downsizing of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), with nearly 20% of employees set to be laid off by May 15th, one month after Tax Day in the United States.

President Trump has ordered all federal government agencies to submit "large-scale" reduction in force plans by this Thursday. According to a source familiar with the matter, details of the IRS proposal have been circulated in emails within the Department of Government Efficiency and will be discussed at the agency's leadership meeting on Thursday morning.

The latest round of layoffs will see nearly 6,800 employees let go, in addition to approximately 6,700 probationary employees who have been dismissed and 4,700 employees who have accepted the Trump administration's voluntary early retirement offer. (金十)
