Many taxpayers got their first glimpse of President Biden's nominee to lead the Internal Revenue Service on Wednesday as Daniel Werfel appeared before the Senate Finance Committee for his confirmation hearing.
Others, however, may have experienced deja vu—Werfel served as the interim IRS Commissioner for several months in 2013 after Steven T. Miller resigned under pressure during the Lois Lerner scandal.
Werfel appeared at the hearing with his wife, Beth, who works as a psychologist in the public school system, his children, Sean and Molly, and his parents., Werfel noted that he began his career in public service at the Office of Management and Budget as a GS-9 in the late 1990s. GS is an abbreviation for General Schedule, the predominant federal pay scale. The system has 15 grades, beginning with GS-1 and going up to GS-15—there are 10 steps within each grade.
