Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has appointed Frank Bisignano to be the chief executive of the IRS, creating a new position to help run the beleaguered tax agency. Mr. Bessent will remain in his role as commissioner of the agency. Mr. Bisignano, currently commissioner of the Social Security Administration, previously served as president and CEO of Fiserv, the world’s largest financial services and payment technology company. He led the 2019 merger of Fiserv and First Data while serving as CEO of First Data. In his new role, he will face the challenges of preparing the agency for the 2026 tax-filing season, and managing it through a government shutdown.
