IRS Announces Fiscal Year 2026 SES Review Board

The Internal Revenue Service published a notice identifying the senior executives who will comprise its standing roster for the Fiscal Year 2026 Senior Executive Service Performance Review Boards.

Under 5 U.S.C. 4314(c)(4), the board evaluates initial performance appraisals of career senior executives and provides recommendations to the appointing authority on performance ratings, pay adjustments, and performance awards.

This is an internal administrative matter that does not address taxpayer obligations or benefits.

Alexander Kweskin, Chief Human Capital Officer, will serve as Board Chair.

The other members are Kenneth Corbin, Chief Taxpayer Services, and Jarod Koopman, Chief Criminal Investigation.

These executives will participate in the performance review process for the current fiscal year.
