IRS Appoints New Small Business Commisioner

I know you’ve been waiting impatiently for this news so here it is.  According to the Washington Post, the IRS has appointed Christopher Wagner to the post of Commissioner of the Small Business and Self-Employed Division (SB/SE).  Wagner replaces Kathy Petronchak, who retired in August.

From the IRS Press Release:

"SB/SE is one of four operating divisions of the IRS, has about 28,000
employees and serves roughly 55 million taxpayers. SB/SE is a major
part of IRS enforcement activities, focusing on promoters of abusive
tax schemes, high-income non-filers and other serious tax compliance
issues."

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.  There are 28,000 IRS agents looking over your shoulder.
