A report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found that the number of employees in the Small Business/Self-Employed Division of the IRS is down by 35% from February to May 2025. This division has several roles: helping small business and self-employed taxpayers understand and meet their tax obligations, administering the IRS penalty and interest programs, educating taxpayers and tax professionals, and more. It is unclear what the reduction in personnel in the SB/SE Division will mean to small business owners. #IdeaoftheDay
