Trish Turner has stepped down as head of the IRS’s Digital Assets Division after just three months in the position. Turner, who brings over two decades of experience to the role, expressed gratitude for her time and highlighted key accomplishments such as navigating complex challenges, creating long-lasting programs, and shaping the IRS’s digital asset strategy as cryptocurrency transitioned from a niche market to mainstream adoption. Her next move is joining crypto tax firm Crypto Tax Girl as their tax director, according to Bloomberg Tax. Turner will contribute her expertise to advising clients on upcoming changes in crypto tax and compliance. Turner’s departure follows a turbulent period for the IRS’s crypto unit. Notably, she replaced two executives from the private sector who stepped down after just one year. The move comes amid growing scrutiny of cryptocurrency taxation in the US. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) proposed workforce reductions at the IRS earlier this year. Additionally, the US House Committee on Ways and Means is developing a digital asset tax policy. Furthermore, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration has called for reform due to failings in digital asset investigations, while President Donald Trump previously overturned a rule requiring decentralized finance protocols to report to the IRS. Turner’s transition to the private sector may significantly impact both regulatory and industry perspectives on crypto tax laws.
