From the New York Post: The acting head of the Internal Revenue Service will resign in the wake of a deal struck on behalf of the agency that will see it share tax data on undocumented immigrants.
Melanie Krause, a commissioner at the IRS who is the third person to serve as its chief since the start of the year, will pack up her desk as part of the deferred resignation program offered by the Trump administration, the Treasury Department announced Tuesday.
The news of her plans to leave the federal agency comes less than a week before the deadline for individual tax returns.
According to the Washington Post, Krause was upset that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem signed the data-sharing deal on Monday, bypassing her and excluding her from input on the deal.
She reportedly only learned about it after the Treasury Department released details on the deal to Fox News.
The Washington Post said Krause is also fuming for not being able to push back against changes being made by DOGE.
