Federal law bars the president from either directly or indirectly requesting the I.R.S. to investigate or audit specific targets. The I.R.S. does at times revoke tax exemptions from organizations for conducting too many political or commercial activities, but those groups can appeal the agency's decision in court. Any attempt to take away Harvard's tax exemption would be likely to face a legal challenge, which tax experts expect would be successful.

About 22,000 employees at the Internal Revenue Service have signed up for the Trump administration's latest resignation offer, according to four people familiar with the matter, an exodus that could weaken the agency's ability to collect taxes. The I.R.S. had about 100,000 employees before President Trump took office. Roughly 5,000 employees have resigned since January, and an additional 7,000 probationary employees were laid off, though those firings have been contested in court.
