The IRS is planning to lay off thousands of probationary workers during tax filing season, according to an Associated Press report citing sources familiar with the situation.

The report did not indicated exactly how many would be laid off.

The news of the layoffs comes after Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency reportedly began examining the IRS to find waste, fraud and tax dollar savings.

The Trump administration has focused agency staffing cuts on probationary employees who haven't received civil service protection.
