The chief of the IRS is reportedly planning to quit over a deal made with immigration authorities to hand over tax information from illegal immigrants.

Earlier today, the IRS agreed to share data from illegal aliens with ICE in order to aid in their arrests and deportations.

According to a report from The Washington Post, two sources have confirmed that acting IRS head Melanie Krause will be resigning from the agency because she disagreed with the move.

Per The Washington Post:

The acting head of the IRS plans to resign after being bypassed over a new agreement to share the tax data of undocumented immigrants with Homeland Security personnel, according to two people familiar with the situation.

Acting IRS commissioner Melanie Krause — the tax agency’s third leader since President Donald Trump’s inauguration — will participate in the deferred resignation program the Trump administration offered to agency employees in recent days, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal.

Disagreements over the agency’s direction also factored into Krause’s decision to leave, the people said.

Losing three agency leaders in three months is “unprecedented,” one of the people said. “I don’t think we’ve seen anything like this at IRS.”

Treasury Department officials in recent days sought to circumvent IRS executives so immigration authorities could access private taxpayer information, the people said. Those conversations largely excluded Krause’s input.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem signed an agreement Monday allowing the practice, although IRS lawyers had counseled that the deal probably violates privacy law. Krause learned of the deal after representatives from the Treasury Department released it to Fox News, the people said.

Krause also felt unable to push back on moves the U.S. DOGE Service was forcing through the taxagency, they said, including dramatic staffing cuts, a technology infrastructure overhaul and long-term IRS priorities.

“She no longer feels like she’s in a position where she can impact the decision-making that’s happening,” said a person familiar with the situation. “And [she believes] that some of the decisions that are being made now are things the IRS can never recover from.”

A Treasury Department spokesperson said Krause led the IRS “through a time of extraordinary change” as it tries to upgrade its technology and carry out other changes to help make government more efficient. “We wish Melanie well on her next endeavor,” the spokesperson said.

Goodbye and good riddance.
