SUMMARY: In 1998 the Internal Revenue Service established the

public forum for discussion of electronic tax administration issues in 
support of the overriding goal that paperless filing should be the 
preferred and most convenient method of filing tax and information 
returns. ETAAC offers constructive observations about current or 
proposed policies, programs, and procedures, and suggests improvements. 
Listed is a summary of the agenda along with the planned discussion 
topics.
