The

Electronic Tax Administration Advisory
Committee (ETAAC) is required by the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998
(RRA 98), Title II, Section 2001(b)(2).
ETAAC follows a charter in accordance
with the provisions of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5
U.S.C., App. 2. The ETAAC provides
continued input into the development
and implementation of the IRS’s strategy
for electronic tax administration. The
ETAAC will research, analyze, consider,
and make recommendations on a wide
range of electronic tax administration
issues and will provide input into the
development of the strategic plan for
electronic tax administration. Members
will provide an annual report to
Congress by June 30.
Nominations should describe and
document the proposed member’s
qualification for ETAAC membership,
including the applicant’s knowledge of
regulations and the applicant’s past or
current affiliations and dealings with
the particular tax segment or segments
of the community that the applicant
wishes to represent on the committee.
Applications will be accepted for
current vacancies from qualified
individuals and from professional and
public interest groups that wish to have
representation on ETAAC. Submissions
must include an application and
resume.
ETAAC provides continuing input
into the development and
implementation of the IRS
organizational strategy for electronic tax
administration. The ETAAC will
provide an organized public forum for
discussion of electronic tax
administration issues such as
prevention of identity theft-related
refund fraud in support of the
overriding goal that paperless filing
should be the preferred and most
convenient method of filing tax and
information returns. ETAAC members
work closely with the Security Summit,
a joint effort of the IRS, state tax
administrators and the nation’s tax
industry, to fight identity theft and
refund fraud. The ETAAC members will
convey the public’s perceptions of IRS
electronic tax administration activities,
offer constructive observations about
current or proposed policies, programs
and procedures, and suggest
improvements.
This is a volunteer position and
members will serve three-year terms on
the ETAAC to allow for a rotation in
membership which ensures that
different perspectives are represented.
