The decision makes her the third IRS leader to leave this year. Treasury officials reportedly sidelined Krause as they finalized the controversial data-sharing deal with the Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"521\" data-end=\"887\"><strong data-start=\"521\" data-end=\"560\">Privacy Concerns and Legal Pushback<\/strong><br data-start=\"560\" data-end=\"563\" \/>Despite warnings from IRS attorneys that the agreement might violate federal privacy laws, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem moved forward. Krause\u2019s resignation follows her predecessor Doug O\u2019Donnell, who also refused to support a similar proposal. She will enter a deferred resignation program.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"889\" data-end=\"1210\"><strong data-start=\"889\" data-end=\"928\">Federal Workforce Overhaul Underway<\/strong><br data-start=\"928\" data-end=\"931\" \/>The IRS has also begun major workforce cuts, eliminating up to 25% of its staff and dismantling its civil rights office. These actions are part of a broader restructuring led by Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), under President Trump\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1212\" data-end=\"1579\"><strong data-start=\"1212\" data-end=\"1256\">Musk Highlights Financial Irregularities<\/strong><br data-start=\"1256\" data-end=\"1259\" \/>Musk recently revealed on Sen. Ted Cruz\u2019s podcast that DOGE identified 14 untracked \u201cmagic money computers\u201d across federal agencies, which allegedly move large sums without oversight. He warned these systems could distort reported spending by as much as 5%, possibly hiding trillions in improper payments from lawmakers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IRS
