Bessent Taps Bisignano as IRS CEO in Latest Agency Shakeup

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is tapping Social Security Administration Commissioner Frank Bisignano to serve as the chief executive officer of the Internal Revenue Service, a new position at an agency that has undergone multiple leadership shakeups this year.

Bisignano will continue to lead the SSA while managing day-to-day operations at the IRS. Bessent, who has served as acting IRS Commissioner since August, will continue in the top role at the tax agency.
