IRS nominee Danny Werfel faces herculean challenge of modernizing agency
The nation’s tax-collecting agency is a villain to many a taxpayer. It’s a magnet for GOP criticism. It’s woefully understaffed, and the new Republican House would like to claw back a big infusion of money meant to help fix things.
And he was temporarily put in charge of the IRS in 2013 to clean up a controversy involving allegations that the agency improperly targeted certain groups applying for tax-exempt status.IRS commissioner is historically a hard post to fill, in part because of the skill set needed to head an agency of roughly 80,000 employees responsible for collecting the revenue that funds the federal government. Werfel would replace Charles Rettig, who was appointed by President Donald Trump.
“Under Democrat administrations, the IRS has become a partisan weapon used to target conservatives and treat law abiding business owners like criminals,” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said in a statement. “The Democrats want to use the IRS to go after hardworking Americans who just want to earn a living and put food on their tables.”
″He’s seen not only in our country but around the world, the attempts to reform public sector entities,” Stier said. “He’s going to come to the table with experience and a knowledge base that makes him the best choice.” If confirmed, Werfel will manage the $80 billion infusion of funds to the IRS approved in the Democrats’ flagship climate and healthcare law. Roughly $46 billion was allocated for enforcing tax laws and the remainder will go toward taxpayer services, operations support and updating business systems.
