The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner Doug Shulman has announced officially his plans to step down the end of this term. Mr. Shulman is the 47th commissioner to serve and he has been in office since March 24th, 2008 and plans to step down on November 9th, 2012. George W. Bush appointed Shulman to office. Commissioners generally serve one term and no commissioner has ever served longer than five years since the office was created by Congress by the Revenue act of 1862.
Shulman has held office during difficult times in this economy. According to Shulman, “The IRS team has made remarkable progress in the last few years during a challenging period. It has been an honor to serve the American people during this dynamic time.”
The IRS Commissioner is a role with many responsibilities and it includes the management of over 100,000 employees. The commissioners are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. A new commissioner will not take his place until after the presidential and congressional elections. In the interim Deputy Commissioner for Services and Enforcement Steven T. Miller will serve as the acting IRS commissioner when Shulman steps down.
