Despite a 27% cut in personnel, he emphasized that the agency achieved its goals, with refunds being processed faster and larger than ever. Bisignano assured lawmakers that there are no staffing shortages within the agency and highlighted the effectiveness of technological advancements that contributed to a record filing season. He also promised increased audits of wealthy individuals, amidst criticism from Democrats regarding worker cuts.
