Since January 2025, there have been several executive orders to reduce the size of the federal workforce.
In February 2025, the IRS had approximately 103,000 employees. Since then, more than 11,400 IRS employees either received termination notices as probationary employees or voluntarily resigned, representing an 11% reduction to the agency's workforce.
Specifically:
- 7,315 probationary employees received termination notices.
- 4,128 employees were approved to accept the Deferred Resignation Program (an additional 522 employees are pending approval).
This is our first report on IRS workforce reductions and it focuses on the probationary employees identified for termination and the employees who voluntarily participated in the initial Deferred Resignation Program. We'll periodically update this report to highlight further reductions, including the impacts of the second Deferred Resignation Program and Reductions in Force.
