President Obama has appointed a new acting commissioner to lead the Internal Revenue Service a day after the former acting commissioner was fired over the tax agency’s targeting of right-wing groups. Daniel Werfel is currently controller of the Office of Management and Budget. Meanwhile, another top IRS official has announced his departure. Joseph Grant says he will retire next month as acting commissioner of the agency’s tax exempt and government entities division.
