It is unclear who will next lead the I.R.S., which has had six different people in charge this year. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will serve as acting commissioner until a permanent replacement takes office, a senior administration official said.Mr. Bessent and Mr. Long had clashed at times, three of the people said. Mr. Long had remarked to some colleagues that he had to ask Mr. Bessent for permission for everything he did at the I.R.S., two of the people said.Others said Mr. Long had at times appeared to get out ahead of the I.R.S. and Treasury Department. He told tax practitioners last month that the agency\u2019s all-important filing season would start later than usual next year, a statement that the I.R.S. later said was premature.Mr. Bessent was supportive of Mr. Long and had pushed the Senate to confirm him, which it did in June along party lines, another one of the people said.Management turmoil has engulfed the I.R.S. under the Trump administration. More than 25,000 people have left the agency under Mr. Trump, roughly a quarter of the staff it had at the start of January, according to the Treasury\u2019s inspector general for tax administration. Several acting commissioners quit earlier this year as the Trump administration leaned on the I.R.S. to its abandon its longstanding protections of taxpayer information and share data with immigration officials.One of the previous acting commissioners, an I.R.S. agent named Gary Shapley, was replaced within just a few days this spring after Mr. Bessent protested to Mr. Trump that Elon Musk had installed the I.R.S. leader without consulting him, The New York Times previously reported.Mr. Long had been an unusual choice to lead the I.R.S. He did not have much background in tax policy beyond promoting a tax credit that the I.R.S. has warned was riddled with fraud, and while he was in Congress he supported legislation calling for the abolition of the agency.Over his short tenure at the tax agency, Mr. Long, a former auctioneer, traveled to meet with I.R.S. staff across the country and appeared at a National Auction Association conference. He placed two top I.R.S. officials on administrative leave, amplifying a post on social media about the need to \u201cpurge\u201d the agency\u2019s work force.He has also repeatedly sent emails to all I.R.S. employees allowing them to leave work early on Friday afternoon.\u201cPlease enjoy a 70-minute early exit tomorrow. That way you\u2019ll be rested for my 70th birthday on Monday!\u201d Mr. Long wrote to staff on Thursday.Mr. Long did not respond to a request for comment. The I.R.S. did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Andrew Duehren covers tax policy for The Times from Washington.Alan Rappeport is an economic policy reporter for The Times, based in Washington.
