President Joe Biden has nominated a new commissioner to steer the IRS forward as it gets a massive funding boost
how the new law would reform the IRS and affect taxes for the middle class.
Werfel is familiar with IRS controversies. In 2013, when the agency was found to scrutinize political groups that applied for tax-exempt status, Werfel was appointed acting IRS commissioner.

Werfel has worked in government under both Republican and Democratic administrations — with Barack Obama and George W. Bush — as acting IRS commissioner and Office of Management and Budget controller.
