IRS begins Nonvoluntary Layoffs

[Lee B]

Copied from The Federal News Network:

"The IRS is preparing for its first wave of nonvoluntary layoffs, as part of a  government wide reduction in force (RIF).

The IRS has begun implementing a Reduction in Force (RIF) that will result in staffing cuts across multiple offices and job categories,” the agency told employees in an email Friday afternoon. “None of the reductions were made today based on individual performance.

Employees laid off through a RIF notice will have 30-60 days before separating from the agency.

This action is being taken to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the IRS in accordance with agency priorities and the Workforce Optimization Initiative outlined in a recent Executive Order,” the IRS wrote.

With limited exceptions, all actions with an effective date after April 4, 2025, will be canceled."

It appears that my previous "Return to Work" post was a temporary response to Court Orders

I guess it really doesn't matter any more as we have been without knowledgeable help for more than two years.

Oh MB you are so right! 

I had a conference call 3/6 with an IRS agent for Trust and payroll - Message said to call supervisor! she was gone. He did call back and said they would be assigned someone new in 30 days. She was on probation and let go. 

Now, he has someone who in order to do an  uncolloectable  - she wants 1 year of everything!

I said it is usually 3 months and she wanted to see it all

Plus she shows huge balance due and no ERC's - 3 of which were applied last year and wiped out the prior uncollectible!

 

She said I will give you 2 weeks - I said it is tax season and quarterlies - She gave us 1 month and said call back then and ask for 30 more days.

We then faxed the 1120S from 2022 to her - with the accepted filing page! , she said they did not have!

Plus the 2023 941! and the ERC's..

What the heck!

 

She can start with that

Best Taxing for 10 days!
