Sen. Elizabeth Warren raises concerns about Billy Long's experience and promotion of the controversial Employee Retention Tax Credit program.
Billy Long, President-elect Donald Trump 's nominee to lead the IRS , is facing scrutiny from Sen. Elizabeth Warren regarding his qualifications. Long, a Republican from Missouri and former auctioneer, co-sponsored legislation to simplify the tax code and advised businesses on the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC), a program marred by fraud.
Warren, a Democrat serving on the Senate Finance Committee, questions Long's tax expertise and promotion of the ERTC, highlighting his lack of accounting or tax law background. The senator also raises concerns about a 2023 podcast discussing Long's work with the ERTC, which has since been removed from multiple platforms. Long's self-proclaimed 'certified tax & business adviser' designation, requiring only a three-day training, is also under scrutiny. Warren requests information about Long's ERTC involvement, including any IRS challenges to returns he assisted with. She also inquires about the podcast removal and the legitimacy of his 'certified tax & business adviser' title.
