Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Danny Werfel has announced his resignation, effective Monday, as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office. This move will pave the way for a significant change in leadership at the agency.
Werfel, whose term was set to continue until 2027, made the decision to step down following Trump's nomination of former congressman Billy Long to lead the IRS. In a message to IRS employees, Werfel expressed his intention to support a smooth transition by leaving his position on January 20, 2025.
