Internal Revenue Service Advisory Council (IRSAC)

    The IRSAC provides an organized public forum for discussion of 
relevant tax administration issues between IRS officials and 
representatives of the public. Through the years, IRSAC has focused on 
broad tax administration policy matters. Various groups have suggested 
operational improvements, offered constructive observations about IRS' 
current or proposed policies, programs, and procedures, and advised the 
Commissioner of Internal Revenue on particular issues having 
substantive effect on Federal Tax Administration. It is important that 
IRSAC membership continue to represent the range and make-up of broad 
and diverse taxpayer and stakeholder base.

Criteria for Members

    Applicants shall be well-rounded, with a strong tax or business 
background and excellent communications skills, bring years of 
practical experience and knowledge to the group, and able to interact 
well in a diversified environment. Applicant's background should 
include several of the following experiences: applying tax law 
knowledge in the resolution of complex tax issues; developing and 
implementing customer service initiatives and tools, systems management 
and improvement, and change management; advising and/or as business 
owners and entrepreneurs; those who have established successful 
strategic partnerships; and, those who have the ability to examine 
situations from a ``macro'' viewpoint.

Nomination Procedures

    Interested persons may nominate themselves and/or one or more 
qualified persons for membership on the IRSAC. Application packages are
