  The layoffs of roughly 7,000 IRS probationary workers beginning this week likely mean the end of the agency's plan to go after high-wealth tax dodgers and could spell disaster for revenue collections,

The IRS is facing potential layoffs due to budget constraints, which could significantly impact its ability to collect revenue and pursue tax evasion among wealthy individuals.
