The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is now accepting applications for the Electronic Tax Administration Advisory Committee (ETAAC) through January 31, 2025.
ETAAC provides a public forum for discussing issues related to electronic tax administration, including identity theft prevention and refund fraud. The committee aims to promote paperless filing as the preferred and most convenient method for submitting tax and information returns.
ETAAC members collaborate with the Security Summit—a partnership among the IRS, state tax authorities, and private-sector tax professionals—on efforts to combat electronic fraud and tax-related identity theft.
The IRS is seeking qualified individuals to serve three-year terms starting in September 2025. Ideal candidates will have expertise in areas such as state tax administration, cybersecurity, information security, tax software development, tax preparation, payroll and tax financial products, systems management and improvement, or customer service initiatives.
The IRS also encourages applications from individuals who represent the perspectives of everyday taxpayers, including consumer advocates and others with an interest in tax issues.
Nominations may be submitted by individuals or organizations via letter. Applicants must complete the ETAAC application PDF, including a statement of interest and a resume, and provide details about their qualifications, current and past affiliations, and experience with cybersecurity and electronic tax administration.
Applicants are required to submit a tax check waiver form and undergo an IRS practitioner background check and an FBI background check. Further instructions regarding these checks will be provided upon receipt of the application. More details are available at the Electronic Tax Administration Advisory Committee (ETAAC) website.
ETAAC is a federal advisory committee created by the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998.
