Trump signed executive order for federal employee hiring freeze
Hiring freeze expires in 90 days for every agency except IRS
The IRS said job offers with a start date after Feb. 8, 2025, will be revoked
President Trump signed an executive order last month enacting a hiring freeze for federal employees.
The memorandum is set to expire in 90 days for every department and agency besides the Internal Revenue Service.
On its website, the IRS wrote that this means those with job offers with a start date after Feb. 8 will be revoked.
With the tax filing season recently starting and lasting until April 15, the IRS expects 140 million individual tax returns to be filed this year.
