Trish Turner, the head of the IRS's Digital Assets Unit, resigned from her position on August 22, 2025, after serving only three months in the role. Turner, a veteran IRS official with two decades of experience at the agency, is leaving to join the private sector as the tax director at Crypto Tax Girl, a crypto tax firm. Her departure comes amid ongoing leadership instability within the IRS's crypto enforcement division and follows a series of resignations attributed in part to budget cuts under the Trump administration, which led to the IRS losing over 20,000 positions. Turner's exit occurs at a critical time as the IRS prepares for an influx of cryptocurrency tax filings driven by new policies.
