IRS Audit Revenue Plummets | Dallas News

The IRS is collecting way less from audits—down 35% to just $6.5 billion—thanks to a crippling staff shortage: nearly 10,000 enforcement workers lost, leaving only 17,517 left on the books. This follows a massive early-Trump-era purge that slashed a third of auditors, and while corporate audits are up 17%, new business partnership audits dropped 30% due to chaotic reorganization and training gaps. Despite fewer audits, total tax revenue rose 4.2% to $5.3 trillion—but with fewer agents than since the 1950s, experts warn this cuts long-term revenue and fuels the deficit.
