The deadline for federal workers to accept OPM's buyout offer was on Feb. 6, but terms of resignation are different for IRS workers during tax season.

IRS employees involved in the 2025 tax season will not be allowed to accept a buyout offer from the Trump administration until May 15th, according to a letter sent Wednesday to all IRS employees.

Some government employees who work for the Internal Revenue Service and choose to take the so-called "buyout" offered by the White House, will have to stick around through tax season 2025, according to an email viewed by Axios.

Tax season has officially opened. Starting on Monday, you can now file tax returns for 2024 income. This year the Internal Revenue Service is making it easier for more people to file online for free, through its Direct File program. That was introduced last year as a pilot, and this year it is being expanded.

The IRS expects more than 140 million returns for Tax Year 2024, with changes for third-party payment platforms and important tax credits to consider.

IRS employees involved in the 2025 tax season will not be allowed to accept a buyout offer from the Trump administration until after the taxpayer filing deadline, according to a letter sent Wednesday to IRS employees.
