Rumor: Trump IRS staffing changes causing 2025 tax refund delays?
Been hearing rumors that all the changes at the IRS from the last administration might cause delays for tax refunds this year. Anyone else hearing this or know if its true? Getting nervous about planning my finances.

Tax professional here - these rumors are mostly unfounded. While there were staffing changes, the IRS has actually increased their workforce significantly since 2024. They've implemented new AI processing systems and hired thousands of new employees. Current processing times are actually faster than previous years.

•Yes, I'm sure. The IRS has been very transparent about their processing capabilities for 2025. Your neighbor's tax guy might be working with outdated info.

Instead of relying on rumors, I've been using taxr.ai to track my refund status. It's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and gives you super specific info about your refund timeline. Only costs a buck but totally worth it for peace of mind. https://taxr.ai

•Its actually crazy accurate. It found a processing delay I had no idea about and told me exactly what to do to fix it. Way better than refreshing WMR all day lol
