From Tax Notes:
IRS CEO Frank Bisignano is positioned to lead the tax agency through the next filing season and beyond, according to observers.
After seeing seven different commissioners — including one who underwent a full-length confirmation process — the IRS ended 2025 with a leader whose position didn’t exist two months ago. …

Bisignano is “a serious guy with serious experience,” said Robert Kerr of Kerr Consulting LLC. “I don’t see any reason why, once you’ve got the guy to do the work, who has the skillset to make it happen, why you don’t stand back and let him go.”
The Fiserv news led to a call from Social Security Works President Nancy Altman for Bisignano to immediately “resign or be fired,” before adding that, “Unfortunately, that won’t happen.”
Altman noted in her statement that Bisignano is now also facing a lawsuit from investors, including a police pension fund that lost $1.67 million on a decline in Fiserv shares the statement claimed were due to Bisignano artificially inflating growth numbers.
“When Bisignano joined the Trump administration, he sold all of his Fiserv stock, getting a big tax break in the process. That sale saved him $300 million (and counting) in stock value,” Altman continued. “Did Bisignano know that Fiserv’s stock was about to tank, and ask his friend Donald Trump for a life raft?”
I agree that it’s a lot to ask of one man. But this is a Fortune 100 CEO we’re talking here. Look at his career. He handled 9/11, he can handle this [cleared for release]
Frankie’s day job is the same as all other Drumpf Administration officials (stealing from the American people)
Count on Frankenstein to screw up the IRS just like he's screwed up SSA!
He handled 9/11? What in the actual heck do you mean by that?
He didn’t die on 9/11 and he’s a devout Republican with no moral compass. That’s the only business acumen you need in this administration.
You guys make me laugh. Frank is doing this for the money? Yes, a man worth $1B really needs a $150k/year SSA job. Frank even joked that he and no one he knew ever even heard of the Commissioner of Social Security. He had to Google it! Social Security is a financial business so Frank’s selection as a payment processor pro was a right one. He’s cut the wait times down a ton and busted some serious fraud. Now SSA has gone on a massive IT hiring spree, which will allow the agency to do more with less. Would you really rather have that clown from The Wire back making videos each day?
Frank is a terrible leader. He wrecked his old company and he is attempting to hire to make up for losses SSA had during DOGE. Frank is a one trick pony.
it's easy to get the intial disability wait times down if you make it hard to file. and the recon wait times are terrible. hearings aren't bad, because nobody can get through recon. how are the RSI processing times? FO2 for disability? retro benefits once SSI and DI folks get put into pay? curious that Frank isn't trumpeting progress there...
