But what did those 15k people do? If their job was to audit family and small biz returns, I don't think anyone will miss them.

I can't say what these specific 15k were doing, but the IRS was in the middle of a hiring spree: https://www.govexec.com/workforce/2023/04/irs-hire-30000-emp...

So it seems like this just puts is back to how it was in 2023. Doesn't seem like a drastic change.
