A former acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has expressed concerns that budget cuts implemented by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will have long-term negative impacts on the agency's ability to function. Despite the IRS reporting a successful 2026 tax season, Douglas O'Donnell warned that the extensive workforce reductions will be felt in the coming years. O'Donnell noted that the IRS's modernization efforts, including a plan to reduce paper processing costs, have been hampered by these cuts, reversing progress made under previous administrations. AI
