Billy Long, nominated by President Trump to head the IRS, is under scrutiny from Sen. Elizabeth Warren regarding his tax experience and qualifications.
Warren's concerns are centered on Long's support for the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC), which has been associated with a high rate of fraud.
Long lacks significant management and tax expertise, raising questions about his suitability for the role of IRS Commissioner.
