“The amount of money the Internal Revenue Service collected from audits dropped dramatically last year after the Trump administration pushed out many of the agency’s employees, according to a watchdog report released on Monday,” the New York Times reports.“The report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, called TIGTA, showed that IRS audits brought in $6.5 billion in fiscal year 2025, a 35 percent decrease from the $10 billion that audits elicited the previous year. That plunge came after President Trump, at the start of his second term, moved to reduce the size of the federal work force, a push that resulted in the IRS losing roughly 30 percent of its staff dedicated to audits.”
