IRS commissioner doesn't file his own taxes

If the tax codes are to complicated for the commissioner to prepare his own, then the question is:
What exactly is it that makes him qualified to hold his position?

IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman does not file his own taxes in part because he believes the tax code is complex.


During an interview on C-SPAN's "Newsmakers" program that aired on Sunday, Shulman said he uses a tax preparer for his own returns.



"I've used one for years. I find it convenient. I find the tax code complex so I use a preparer," Shulman said.
