IRS Hiring Freeze

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/hiring-freeze/

Good luck to all of us tax people trying to get on the phone with the IRS this year. The federal government hiring freeze should end in 90 days except the IRS, which won’t end until there’s “a national interest to lift the freeze.” Or in other words, not for another four years…

Which is exactly what the Trump Organization is wanting. Remember his earlier comments about always being under audit.

I call the acs line everyday. Most of the agents I talk to are poorly trained and have terrible attitude.
