SUMMARY: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is requesting applications

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IRS strongly encourages representatives
from consumer groups with an interest in tax issues to apply.
Nominations should describe and document the proposed member's
qualifications for ETAAC membership, including the applicant's
knowledge of regulations and the applicant's past or current
affiliations and involvement 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 provides 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. ETAAC members 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. Members will serve three-year terms
on the ETAAC to allow for a rotation in membership and ensure different
perspectives are represented. Travel expenses within government
guidelines will be reimbursed. In accordance with Department of
Treasury Directive 21-03, a clearance process including fingerprints,
annual tax checks, a Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal check and
a practitioner check with the Office of Professional Responsibility
will be conducted.
The establishment and operation of 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.
Applicants must complete the application form, which includes
describing and documenting the applicant's qualifications for ETAAC
membership. Applicants must submit a short one or two-page statement
including recent examples of specific skills and qualifications as they
relate to: cybersecurity and information security, tax software
development, tax preparation, payroll and tax financial product
processing, systems management and improvement, implementation of
customer service initiatives, consumer advocacy and public
administration. Examples of critical thinking, strategic planning and
oral and written communication are desirable.
An acknowledgement of receipt will be sent to all applicants.
Equal opportunity practices will be followed in all appointments to
the ETAAC in accordance with Department of Treasury and IRS policies.
The IRS has a 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, IRS
extends particular encouragement to nominations from such appropriately
qualified individuals.
