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. As a federal advisory
committee, TAP is required to have
membership be fairly balanced in terms
of the points of view represented. Thus,
TAP membership represents a crosssection of the taxpaying public with at
least one member from each state, the
District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, in
addition to one member representing
international taxpayers. For application
purposes, ‘‘international taxpayers’’ are
defined broadly to include U.S. citizens
working, living, or doing business
abroad or in a U.S. territory. Potential
candidates must be U.S. citizens and
must pass a federal tax compliance
check and a Federal Bureau of
Investigation criminal background
investigation. Applicants who practice
before the IRS must be in good standing
with the IRS. Federally-registered
lobbyists cannot be members of the
TAP. Current employees of any Bureau
of the Treasury Department or have
worked for any Bureau of the Treasury
Department within three years of
December 1 of the current year are not
eligible. The IRS is seeking members or
alternates in the following locations:
Locations that need Members:
Alaska, California, Hawaii, Kentucky,
Massachusetts, Michigan, New
Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota,
New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, and
Wyoming. The TAP is also seeking to
include at least one (1) additional
member to represent international
taxpayers. For these purposes,
‘‘international taxpayers’’ are broadly
defined to include U.S. citizens
working, living, or doing business
abroad or in a U.S. territory.
Locations that need Alternates:
All states listed above and Colorado,
District of Columbia, Delaware, Kansas,
Ohio, South Dakota, Virginia and
Washington.
TAP members are a diverse group of
citizens who represent the interests of
taxpayers from their respective
geographic locations 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 to taxpayers about TAP and its
activities, while clearly distinguishing
