Two prominent figures in cryptocurrency policy at the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Seth Wilks and Raj Mukherjee, have stepped down from their positions. This comes after they accepted “DOGE Deferred Exit Deals” offered by the government. Wilks and Mukherjee, who both joined the IRS in 2024, played significant roles in shaping the agency’s policies regarding cryptocurrency taxes and were instrumental in the development of the new 1099-DA tax form. Their resignations signal a change in leadership as the IRS works on improving its approach to taxing cryptocurrencies.
