Former head of the IRS Crypto Unit, Trish Turner, has left her post after just under three months, joining Crypto Tax Girl as their new Tax Director. This move signifies a significant shift in the IRS’s approach to crypto tax compliance, particularly amidst ongoing workforce reductions impacting its regulatory capabilities. Turner’s departure follows recent exits from the same unit by Sulolit Mukherjee and Seth Wilks, highlighting an ongoing leadership transition. 20-year veteran Turner expressed appreciation for her time at the IRS and looks forward to continuing the mission from a new vantage point, suggesting potential focus on private sector compliance strategies. This move has analysts questioning its implications for regulatory consistency and market behavior, considering past trends of short tenures in the IRS’s crypto tax enforcement framework.
