How could IRS layoffs impact tax returns during tax season?
The IRS layoffs occurring during tax season could potentially delay processing times for the 160 million tax returns expected from individuals and businesses. Tax experts warn that fewer people working on returns, system disruptions, or staff distraction from complying with external requests (like those from Dogecoin) could extend processing times. These delays would particularly impact lower-income Americans who rely on timely tax refunds. With reduced personnel handling the massive volume of returns during this busy period, the efficiency of processing could be compromised, affecting millions of taxpayers waiting for their refunds.
