The Internal Revenue Service has appointed Joseph Velli to assist in administering the tax accounts of former President Donald J. Trump. The move was announced by the IRS in a statement released early this week.

Velli brings a wealth of corporate governance experience to the role. He has previously served on the boards of Paychex, Cognizant and Computershare, where he was involved in overseeing financial and regulatory matters for large multinational organisations.

According to the IRS, Velli will work with the agency’s tax‑law enforcement team to manage the complex filing and compliance issues that have arisen in the Trump accounts. The appointment follows a series of high‑profile tax investigations that have drawn significant public attention.

While the IRS has not disclosed further details about the scope of Velli’s responsibilities, the agency said the appointment is intended to strengthen its capacity to handle the intricate tax matters associated with the former president’s filings.

Velli’s experience in corporate oversight is expected to support the IRS’s broader efforts to ensure accurate and timely tax administration for all taxpayers, including those in the public eye.
