The IRSAC serves as an advisory body to the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue and provides an organized public forum for discussion
of relevant tax administration issues between IRS officials and
representatives of the public. The IRSAC proposes enhancements to IRS
operations, recommends administrative and policy changes to improve
taxpayer service, compliance and tax administration, discusses relevant
information reporting issues, addresses matters concerning tax-exempt
and government entities, and conveys the public's perception of
professional standards and best practices for tax professionals.
IRSAC holds approximately four, two-day working sessions and at
least one public meeting per year. Members are not paid for their
services; any travel expenses are reimbursed within federal government
guidelines.
Appointed by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue with the
concurrence of the Secretary of the Treasury, IRSAC members will serve
three-year terms to allow for a rotation in membership which ensures
that different perspectives are represented. In accordance with the
Department of Treasury Directive 21-03, a clearance process, including
a tax compliance check and a practitioner check with the IRS Office of
Professional Responsibility, will be conducted. In addition, all
applicants deemed ``Best Qualified'' shall undergo a Federal Bureau of
Investigation fingerprint check.
The IRSAC is authorized under the Federal Advisory Committee Act,
Public Law 92-463. The first Advisory Group to the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue--the Commissioner's Advisory Group--was established in
1953 as a ``national policy and/or issue advisory committee.'' Renamed
in 1998, the Internal Revenue Service Advisory Council (IRSAC) reflects
the agency-wide scope of its focus as an advisory body to the entire
agency.
All applicants will be sent an acknowledgment of receipt.
Equal opportunity practices will be followed for all appointments
to the IRSAC in accordance with the Department of Treasury and IRS
policies. The IRS has special interest in assuring that women and men,
members of all races and national origins, and individuals with
disabilities have an opportunity to serve on advisory committees.
Therefore, the IRS extends particular encouragement to nominations from
such appropriately qualified candidates.
