SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that the Department of the
Treasury and the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) are inviting individuals to
help improve the nation’s tax agency by
applying to be members of the Taxpayer
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 300 to 500 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. Potential candidates must
be U.S. citizens and must pass an IRS
tax compliance check and a Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
background investigation. Federallyregistered 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 by providing input
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 communications skills and be able
to speak to 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 https://
www.improveirs.org to complete the online application or call the TAP toll free
number, 1–888–912–1227, if they have
questions about TAP membership. The
opening date for submitting applications
is March 15, 2010, and the deadline for
submitting applications is April 30,
2010. 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 2010. (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.)
Questions regarding the selection of
TAP members may be directed to
Shawn Collins, Acting Director,
Taxpayer Advocacy Panel, Internal
Revenue Service, 1111 Constitution
Avenue, NW., Room 1314, Washington,
DC 20224, or 202–622–1245.
