On April 4, 2023, during his ceremonial swearing-in as the 50th IRS Commissioner, Danny Werfel, announced that the IRS’s strategic operating plan for the nearly $80 billion in funding, under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), would be issued later that week, stating there would be “real world improvements for every taxpayer, every tax professional, and every IRS employee.” That day, Janet Yellen, the Secretary of Treasury, gave clear marching orders to Commissioner Werfel, stating that he will be focused on “dramatically improving taxpayer service and ensuring that large corporations and the wealthy pay the taxes they owe.”
