IRS Job Cuts – File & Pay Electronically to Avoid Delays
The IRS has announced 6,700 job cuts (about 6% of its workforce), affecting key departments such as revenue agents, customer service, tax appeal specialists, and IT support. These layoffs come in the middle of tax season, with the IRS expecting over 140 million individual returns by the April 15 deadline. With reduced staffing, paper-filed returns and mailed payments will likely face significant delays. To ensure a smooth and timely tax process, we strongly urge you to avoid all paper transactions, including:
🚫 Mailing a Paper Tax Return – Expect long processing delays.
🚫 Writing a Paper Check for Payment – Could take months to process.
🚫 Relying on Mailed IRS Correspondence – Fewer IRS staff means slower response times.
