Monitoring IRS operations and reporting enforcement declines

In fiscal 2024, IRS audits brought in $10 billion. In fiscal 2025, they brought in $6.5 billion—a 35% drop documented by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) in an August 2026 report. The decline tracks a federal workforce reduction effort that cut the agency's examination and collection staff by more than 25% in a single year.
