About 22,000 employees at the IRS have signed up for the Trump administration’s latest resignation offer, according to four people familiar with the matter, an exodus that could weaken the agency’s ability to collect taxes.
More Than 20,000 IRS Employees Accept Trump Administration’s Resignation Offer
The I.R.S. had about 100,000 employees before President Trump took office. Between resignations and layoffs, the I.R.S. is on track to lose about a third of its staff this year.

"A hamstrung IRS is a gift to rich tax cheats and a headache for honest taxpayers."
The IRS brings in $26 for every $1 spent auditing the top .1%. A weak IRS makes it harder for honest taxpayers to get help and easier for the ultra-rich to cheat the system. www.brookings.edu/articles/a-h...

The US government currently spends over $20 billion a year on cloud contracts, the bulk of which goes to Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Oracle. Some may be cutting prices, but that’s still a ton of public money going to support those companies.
Google to agree cloud discount as US government squeezes Big Tech
Amazon and Microsoft are also under pressure to cut prices after Oracle struck a deal to reduce costs

I know it's the season, but I have two Forms 2848 that haven't been processed by CAF in more than a month. My CAF info (COA) hasn't been updated. The hold time at IRS ACS is over a half hour (no callback option).
This feels like old times. I know it's going to get worse.
