President Obama Announces his Intent to Nominate John Koskinen as Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service
WASHINGTON, DC Today, President Obama announced his intent to nominate John Koskinen as Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service.
President Obama said, John is an expert at turning around institutions in need of reform. With decades of experience, in both the private and public sectors, John knows how to lead in difficult times, whether that means ensuring new management or implementing new checks and balances. Every part of our government must operate with absolute integrity and that is especially true for the IRS. I am confident that John will do whatever it takes to restore the publics trust in the agency.

Koskinen will have fun cleaning out the Austin TX ITIN Center. That IRS unit gave $4.2 billion in undeserved refunds to ITIN filers in 2010. According to TIGTA the problem was IRS workers ignoring ACTC fraud. They were told to. It's been over a year since the July '12 IG report, but cleanup hasn't even started. So says WTHR reporter Segall. Google "katz segall" for more.
