Last month, President Trump named an interim commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service as the search continues for someone to lead the powerful agency.

As the head of the Ways and Means Oversight Subcommittee, which oversees the IRS, I want to make sure hardworking Americans are able to navigate today’s complex and outdated tax code. With the House, the Senate, and the White House closer than ever before to comprehensive tax reform that makes the tax code simpler and fairer for all Americans, I am committed to ensuring the new commissioner protects taxpayers’ rights, improves taxpayer service, and brings the IRS into the 21^st century.
