In this revealing conversation, former IRS revenue agent Jeff Johnson shares his firsthand account of being caught in the recent mass layoffs at the IRS. Having just completed seven months of intensive training, Jeff was among 7,000 probationary employees suddenly terminated as part of a broader federal workforce reduction initiative.\nJeff pulls back the curtain on the agency's antiquated systems—including 1960s COBOL programming and cryptic green screens that revenue agents must master—and explains why these cuts could mean fewer audits of non-compliant taxpayers. You'll hear how experienced professionals who left established careers to serve at the IRS were dismissed with minimal notice and why this might be just the beginning of a much more significant reduction targeting up to half of the agency's 90,000 workforce.\nMeet Our Guest, Jeff Johnston\nLinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-jeffery-johnston-6812875\nNeed CPE?\nGet CPE for listening to podcasts with Earmark: https://earmarkcpe.com\nSubscribe to the Earmark Podcast: https://podcast.earmarkcpe.com\n\nGet in Touch\nThanks for listening and the great reviews!
