Members of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency team recently visited the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offices in Washington as part of their mission to evaluate and potentially downsize government agencies. The visit, led by DOGE member Gavin Kliger, involved requests for information on the IRS's business units, upcoming deliverables, and current risks.
While it remains unclear if Kliger accessed any IRS systems during the visit, sources suggest that he was primarily gathering information. The visit caused some unease among IRS staffers, especially given recent access by DOGE to a critical Treasury Department payment system.
