help improve the nation’s tax agency by
applying to be members of the TAP.
Note: Highly-ranked applicants not
selected as members may be placed on a
roster of replacements who will be eligible to
fill vacancies that may occur on the Panel.
The mission of the TAP is to provide
citizen input into enhancing IRS
customer satisfaction and service by
identifying problems and making
recommendations for improvement of
IRS systems and procedures and
elevating the identified problems to the
appropriate IRS official. 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 which
channel their feedback to the IRS.
The IRS is seeking applicants who
have an interest in good government, a
personal commitment to volunteer
approximately 300 to 500 hours a year,
and a desire to help improve IRS
customer service. To the extent possible,
the IRS would like to ensure a balanced
TAP membership representing a crosssection of the taxpaying public
throughout the United States. Potential
candidates must be U.S. citizens,
compliant with Federal, State and local
taxes, and able to pass a background
investigation.
TAP Members are a diverse group of
citizens who work as valuable partners
of the IRS by providing input from
taxpayers on ways to improve IRS
customer service and administration of
the Federal tax system. In order to be an
effective member of TAP, applicants
must possess the knowledge, skills and
abilities necessary to (1) Identify
grassroots taxpayer issues by soliciting
input directly from taxpayers and (2)
work effectively with TAP committees,
and IRS program staff, to research and
analyze issues, develop solutions, and
make recommendations to the IRS on
ways to improve programs and
procedures. TAP members work to
identify and solve problems by actively
participating in committee meetings by:
expressing their views; listening to the
views of others, showing a willingness
to explore new ideas, and contributing
their knowledge and experience in
committee deliberations. TAP Members
should have good communications
skills and be able to make effective
presentations about IRS programs,
procedures, and TAP activities, while
clearly distinguishing between TAP
positions and their personal viewpoints.
