Advocacy Panel (TAP). The mission of
the TAP is to listen to taxpayers,
identify issues that affect taxpayers, and
make suggestions for improving IRS
service and customer satisfaction. The
TAP serves as an advisory body to the
Secretary of the Treasury, the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and
the National Taxpayer Advocate. TAP
members will participate in
subcommittees that channel their
feedback to the IRS through the Panel’s
parent committee.
The IRS is seeking applicants who
have an interest in good government, a
personal commitment to volunteer
approximately 200 to 300 hours a year,
and a desire to help improve IRS
customer service. To the extent possible,
the TAP Director will ensure that TAP
membership is balanced and represents
a cross-section of the taxpaying public
with at least one member from each
state, the District of Columbia and
Puerto Rico, in addition to one member
abroad representing international
taxpayers. Potential candidates must be
U.S. citizens and must pass an IRS tax
compliance check and a Federal Bureau
of Investigation background
investigation. Federally-registered
lobbyists cannot be members of the
TAP.
TAP members are a diverse group of
citizens who represent the interests of
taxpayers from their respective
geographic locations, as well as
taxpayers as a whole, by providing
feedback from a taxpayer’s perspective
on ways to improve IRS customer
service and administration of the federal
tax system, and by identifying grassroots
taxpayer issues. Members should have
good communication skills and be able
to speak with taxpayers about the TAP
and TAP activities, while clearly
distinguishing between TAP positions
and their personal viewpoints.
Interested applicants should visit the
TAP Web site at www.improveirs.org for
more information about the TAP. To
complete an application, visit
www.usajobs.gov. The opening date for
submitting applications is March 9,
2015, and the deadline for submitting
applications is April 20, 2015.
Interviews may be held. The
Department of the Treasury will review
the recommended candidates and make
final selections. New TAP members will
serve a three-year term starting in
December 2015. (Note: highly-ranked
applicants not selected as members may
be placed on a roster of alternates who
will be eligible to fill future vacancies
that may occur on the Panel.)
Interested applicants can call the TAP
