Walter welcomed her by noting that upcoming changes in tax reporting will require strong guidance and said Turner will help clients prepare.
Turner first shared the news in a LinkedIn post on August 22. She wrote that after two decades at the IRS, she was grateful to colleagues who shaped her path and described the work as meaningful.
She added that during her time in the role, the team created new programs and built the foundation for handling cryptocurrencies as they became more mainstream.
Although she did not mention her new employer in that post, Turner explained she planned to continue working in the same area from a different position.
Turner’s appointment in the IRS crypto division came after the exit of Sulolit “Raj” Mukherjee and Seth Wilks, who were both recruited from the private sector and each stayed about a year.
