The IRS says it will begin firing about 6,700 employees as part of the Trump administration’s sweeping efforts to gut the federal workforce. This follows a similar downsizing of the IRS during Trump’s first presidential term, when for the first time ever working families were audited at a higher rate than households with an income over $1 million. AP reports Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency is seeking access to the IRS’s Integrated Data Retrieval System, which contains sensitive taxpayer records for millions of people.
