Approximately 120 leases for Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offices nationwide will be terminated or allowed to lapse, impacting various taxpayer service locations, according to a source familiar with the situation who requested anonymity.

This recent initiative to discontinue leases for IRS facilities—many of which serve as public-facing taxpayer service centers—comes during tax season. The IRS anticipates that over 140 million tax returns will be submitted by the April 15 deadline.

Last week, around 7,000 probationary IRS employees, primarily covering compliance roles, were let go. Experts and former employees warn that this may lead to diminished customer service and could halt the agency’s efforts to pursue high-income tax evaders.

Details regarding some of the office closures can be found on the DOGE website. The site indicates that the leases for IRS offices in Knoxville, Tennessee; Beaumont, Texas; Sioux City, Iowa; Bend, Oregon; Salem, Oregon; Idaho Falls, Idaho; Brattleboro, Vermont; Hilo, Hawaii; and Lowell, Massachusetts have either been or will be terminated.
