According to Odaily, Trish Turner, a veteran official at the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS), has been appointed as the head of the Digital Assets Office. Turner has served at the IRS for over 20 years and previously held the position of senior advisor in the Digital Assets Office.
The appointment follows the departure of two key figures in the IRS's cryptocurrency projects, Seth Wilks and Raj Mukherjee, who left last Friday. They accepted the government's 'DOGE Deferred Departure Plan.' Both Wilks and Mukherjee joined the IRS in 2024 from the cryptocurrency industry, where they were responsible for developing cryptocurrency tax policies and leading the creation of the new 1099-DA tax form.
