US EditionTrump's Budget Bill Could Complicate 2026 Tax Filing Season After IRS Cuts, Watchdog Warns
- An independent watchdog reported on June 25, 2025, that the IRS workforce in the United States decreased by approximately 25% over the past year.
- The staffing reduction followed a Republican budget proposal cutting IRS funding by 20% next year and stripping Biden-era supplemental funding, causing workforce decline.
- The IRS is managing about 387,000 unresolved identity theft cases as of the 2025 filing season end, with case resolution delays up to 20 months.
- Erin M. Collins stated the 2025 season was successful but warned that prolonged identity theft case resolution times remain unacceptably long, risking a rocky 2026 filing season.
- The workforce cuts and retroactive tax provisions could complicate 2026 filings and impact millions of taxpayers and revenue collection if new legislative measures proceed.
