Walter publicly welcomed Turner, emphasizing the importance of expert guidance in light of evolving tax reporting standards, and noted that Turner’s expertise will benefit clients in navigating these changes.
Turner initially announced her departure in a LinkedIn update on August 22. She expressed gratitude to her IRS colleagues for their influence on her career over the past two decades, highlighting the meaningful nature of the work.
She further mentioned that, during her leadership, the team developed innovative programs and established a framework for managing cryptocurrencies as their popularity increased.

Turner’s assignment to the IRS’s crypto division followed the departures of Sulolit “Raj” Mukherjee and Seth Wilks, both of whom were recruited from the private sector and each served for approximately one year.
