Summary

Acting IRS Commissioner Melanie Krause plans to resign over a controversial new agreement to share tax data of undocumented immigrants with Homeland Security, according to the Washington Post.

Krause will step down under the government’s deferred resignation program recently offered to agency employees.

The data-sharing deal has sparked concern over privacy and immigration enforcement.

The report did not indicate when the agreement was finalized or how it will be implemented. The IRS has not officially commented on Krause’s decision or the scope of the information-sharing arrangement.
