Membership is balanced to include representation from the taxpaying public, the tax professional community, small and large businesses, state tax administration, and the payroll community. IRSAC members are appointed by the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service and serve a term of three years. There are four subcommittees of IRSAC, the Small Business/Self Employed (SB/SE); Large Mid-Size Business (LMSB); Wage & Investment (W&I); and the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) subcommittee.
