Advocacy Panel
Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

ACTION: Notice.
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
AGENCY:
Notice of open season for
recruitment of IRS Taxpayer Advocacy
Panel (TAP) members.
DATES: January 31, 2024, through March
15, 2024.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Fred
N. Smith, Jr. at 202–317–3087 (not a
toll-free call).
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:17 Feb 06, 2024
Jkt 262001
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 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 a
fairly balanced membership 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 these
purposes, ‘‘international taxpayers’’ are
broadly defined to include U.S. citizens
working, living, or doing business
abroad. Potential candidates must be
U.S. citizens, not a current employee of
any Bureau of the Treasury Department
or have worked for any Bureau of the
Treasury Department within the three
years of December 1 of the current year
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 (meaning not currently
under suspension or disbarment).
Federally-registered lobbyists cannot be
members of the TAP. The IRS is seeking
members or alternates in the following
locations: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas,
California, Connecticut, Delaware,
Hawaii, Indiana, International, Kansas,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine,
Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi,
Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire,
New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Puerto
Rico, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas,
Utah, Virginia, Vermont and West
Virginia. TAP members are a diverse
group of citizens who represent the
interests of taxpayers, from their
respective geographic locations as well
as taxpayers overall. Members provide
feedback from a taxpayer’s perspective
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
Frm 00125
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
on ways to improve IRS customer
service and administration of the federal
tax system, 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
between TAP positions and their
personal viewpoints.
Interested applicants should visit the
TAP website at www.improveirs.org for
more information about TAP.
Applications may be submitted online
at www.usajobs.gov. For questions about
TAP membership, call the TAP toll-free
number, 1–888–912–1227 and select
prompt 5. Callers who are outside of the
U.S. should call 202–317–3087 (not a
toll-free call).
The opening date for submitting
applications is January 31, 2024, and
the deadline for submitting applications
is March 15, 2024. Interviews will be
held. The Department of the Treasury
will review the recommended
candidates and make final selections.
New TAP members will serve a threeyear term starting in December 2024.
(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 Fred
N. Smith, Jr., Taxpayer Advocacy Panel,
Internal Revenue Service, 1111
Constitution Avenue NW, TA:TAP
Room 1509, Washington, DC 20224, or
