IRS to furlough nearly half of its employees due to government shutdown

BREAKING: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is preparing to furlough nearly half of its employees due to the ongoing government shutdown. This decision comes as the agency faces significant operational challenges amid the prolonged closure of federal government services.

The furloughs will impact a substantial portion of the IRS workforce, which has already been strained by budget cuts and staffing shortages in recent years. The agency has been under pressure to maintain its services, including tax processing and customer support, during the shutdown.

This situation mirrors other recent developments in the political landscape, as various government agencies grapple with the effects of the shutdown. For more information on related coverage, see our article on the Israeli government"s recent campaign.
