In a notable development reflecting ongoing challenges within U.S. government agencies, acting IRS Commissioner Melanie Krause is set to resign after a heated dispute over a data-sharing agreement with federal immigration authorities.
The Treasury Department announced her impending resignation on Tuesday. The disagreement centered on whether taxpayer information should be shared with immigration enforcement agencies, raising concerns about privacy and overreach. Krause’s departure marks the latest shakeup in what has been a turbulent year for the IRS, marked by leadership turnover, controversial policy shifts, and widespread administrative reforms. Her resignation underscores internal divisions over the agency’s role in federal enforcement efforts and highlights broader tensions over how government agencies handle sensitive data.
