The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is facing potential challenges this tax season, according to warnings from IRS watchdogs. Wall Street Journal (Markets) posted on X that taxpayers may encounter difficulties due to various factors affecting the agency's operations. IRS watchdogs have highlighted concerns about the agency's ability to manage the upcoming tax season effectively. These challenges stem from budget constraints, staffing shortages, and the ongoing implementation of new tax laws.
