Danny Werfel’s term has not yet expired, but the president-elect has already said he wants to appoint a new IRS chief.

IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel says he intends to step down from his position on President-elect Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day.

Danny Werfel, Biden’s pick to transform the tax agency, planned to exit after Trump announced intent to replace him.

IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel told staff his early departure would be the best thing for the agency given that Trump has already announced his intention to install a replacement. Werfel could have stayed in the role and forced Trump to fire him,

Werfel applauded IRS employees for supporting two of the “best filing seasons in decades," after tapping into billions in Inflation Reduction Act funds.
