Trish Turner has left her position as head of the US Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) digital assets division after just a few months. She announced her departure on LinkedIn and expressed appreciation for her two-decade career at the IRS. Turner highlighted progress made in navigating complex issues and establishing foundational programs for the IRS’s digital asset strategy, which has transitioned from a specialized area to a major concern for businesses and individuals. While Turner did not specify her next role, Bloomberg Tax reports she will join Crypto Tax Girl as their tax director. This move was confirmed by Crypto Tax Girl founder Laura Walter who expressed confidence in Turner’s expertise, particularly given the impending changes in crypto tax and compliance regulation. Turner’s departure follows other recent departures from the IRS’s digital assets unit. This trend coincides with increased pressure on the IRS to develop robust regulations for digital assets, as seen through proposals like a 20% reduction in IRS staff focused on this area. The House Committee on Ways and Means and Oversight Subcommittee is also exploring new tax frameworks for digital assets, leading to a series of high-profile hearings. Trump’s recent action overturning an IRS rule impacting DeFi transactions adds further complexity. Cointelegraph attempted to reach Turner for additional comments but was unable to do so before publication.
