United States Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) top crypto executive Trish Turner has resigned from her position as head of the agency’s digital assets division. It is worth noting that she assumed the position only three months ago. This comes at a time when the IRS is working on establishing a regulatory framework for crypto taxation. Another Leadership Overhaul in the IRS On Friday, Turner announced her exit from the agency through LinkedIn , the professional social media platform. While the executive had resumed the role three months ago, she has been with the IRS for almost 20 years. In other words, resigning from the position of head of IRS’s digital asset division marks the end of two decades of work with the tax office. She was an integral part of the development of the IRS’s digital asset strategy. This was at the time when cryptocurrencies transitioned from being specialized investments to becoming mainstream financial tools. Noteworthy, Turner took over from Sulolit “Raj” Mukherjee and Seth Wilks, two private-sector experts who served the IRS digital asset division for one year before their departure. Turner Moves to Crypto Tax Girl as Director According to Bloomberg Tax, Turner is moving to cryptocurrency tax firm Crypto Tax Girl, where she will serve as tax director. Turner will remain in the crypto tax space, only that she will be more focused on the private sector. This time around, she is looking to build connections between industry participants and regulators. This is necessary to ensure that both parties are catered to. For a while, quite a few U.S. crypto investors have been receiving tax letters from the IRS. In fact, leading crypto tax software company CoinLedger reported a 750% increase in users getting these notifications. This appears to be a larger IRS push to enforce crypto tax rules. More Crypto Tax Rules Are Coming in 2026 Meanwhile, the crypto industry is gradually moving into a season of more tax rules. By next year, crypto brokers will need to report both the total amount and the original cost of digital asset sales to the IRS. They will carry out this action using a new form called 1099-DA. With this initiative, the IRS aims to minimize errors and enhance accuracy in tax reporting. Interestingly, Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platforms will not be affected by this upcoming rule.
