Elon Musk, who will co-lead DOGE with Vivek Ramaswamy, confirmed the decision on X / Twitter where he simply wrote "Gonna happen" in reference to DOGE's planned audit of the IRS.
Though the Government Accountability Office (GAO) audits the IRS annually, DOGE will audit it again to look for any inefficiencies or unnecessary expenditures to trim.
Under President Biden, the IRS grew by leaps and bounds. In May of this year, the IRS asked for an additional $20 billion in budget money as well as another 14,000 employees. This came after the Biden regime implemented the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, which allocated $80 billion to expand IRS operations.
The IRS now has tens of thousands of new agents and is disproportionately targeting working Americans, reports indicate. Musk says he wants to fix that, as does Trump, as part of the plan for Trump's second term.

DOGE to be completed on July 4, 2026, America's 250th Independence Day
Speaking about DOGE, the president-elect commented that the mission of DOGE is to "dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies." Trump is the one who called it a potential "Manhattan Project of our time."
If the plan is a success, Trump will streamline government operations and increase accountability throughout Washington, which is great news for the American people who are tired of being raked over the coals by their overlords.
"We will drive out the massive waste and fraud which exists throughout our annual $6.5 Trillion Dollars of Government Spending," Trump said. "Elon and Vivek will make changes to the Federal Bureaucracy with an eye on efficiency and, at the same time, make life better for all Americans."
The work of DOGE will commence on Jan. 20, 2025, the day of Trump's inauguration. It currently has a scheduled completion date of July 4, 2026, which is also America's 250th Independence Day. On that day, Trump hopes to be able to introduce a "smaller Government, with more efficiency and less bureaucracy" as part of his "Save America" movement.
Some are now saying that DOGE should go a step further and abolish the IRS entirely. After all, America never had a federal income tax prior to 1913 when the private Federal Reserve central bank was introduced.
"DOGE should delete the IRS," wrote someone on X / Twitter.
"We need this to happen," wrote another. "The IRS is one of the most powerful and corrupt federal departments."
Another expressed excitement about the fact that "the auditors are getting audited."
"They target American citizens for $600 Venmo transactions yet let our government leaders have 1.5 billion in tax debt," wrote another. "Let me tell you something ... I work my butt off and by the time I get done, my companies and my personal household income has been taxed 20+ times, leaving me with pennies on the dollar."
"Delete the IRS and by the way I want a refund starting from my very first job," wrote another. "Those taxes were never used in the U.S. They were sent to Puerto Rico to go to the UK and to the Vatican."
"We've been business owners for decades," wrote another. "We work our butts off and take zero vacations. We don't do anything extravagant, but we just had to take out a loan to make up the balance of our taxes because we earned more money last year."
