ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Electronic Tax 

Administration Advisory Committee 

(ETAAC) was established to provide 

continued input into the development 

and implementation of the Internal 

Revenue Service (IRS) strategy for 

electronic tax administration. The 

ETAAC provides an organized public 

forum for discussion of electronic tax 

administration issues 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 

convey the public’s perception of IRS 

electronic tax administration activities, 

offer constructive observations about 

current or proposed policies, programs, 

and procedures, and suggest 

improvements. This document seeks 

nominations of individuals to be 

considered for selection as Committee 

members. 

The Director, Electronic Tax 

Administration (ETA) will assure that 

the size and organizational 

representation of the ETAAC obtains 

balanced membership and includes 

representatives from various groups 

including: (1) Tax practitioners and 

preparers, (2) transmitters of electronic 

returns, (3) tax software developers, (4) 

large and small business, (5) employers 

and payroll service providers, (6) 

individual taxpayers, (7) financial 

industry (payers, payment options and 

best practices), (8) system integrators 

(technology providers), (9) academic 

(marketing, sales or technical 

perspectives), (10) trusts and estates, 

(11) tax exempt organizations, and (12) 

state and local governments. We are 

soliciting nominations from professional 

and public interest groups, IRS officials, 

the Department of Treasury, and 

Congress. Members serve a three-year 

term on the ETAAC to allow a change 

in membership. The change of members 

on the Committee ensures that different 

perspectives are represented. All travel 

expenses within government guidelines 

will be reimbursed. Potential candidates 

must pass an IRS tax compliance check 

and Federal Bureau of Investigation 

(FBI) background investigation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

ETAAC will provide continued input 

into the development and 

implementation of the Internal Revenue 

Service (IRS) strategy for electronic tax 

administration. The ETAAC members 

will convey the public’s perception of 

IRS electronic tax administration 

activities, offer constructive 

observations about current or proposed 

policies, programs, and procedures, and 

suggest improvements. The ETAAC will 

also provide an annual report to 

Congress on IRS progress in meeting the 

Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 

goals for electronic filing of tax returns. 

This activity is based on the authority 

to administer the Internal Revenue laws 

conferred upon the Secretary of the 

Treasury by section 7802 of the Internal 

Revenue Code and delegated to the 

Commissioner of the Internal Revenue. 

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. 

Nominations should describe and 

document the proposed member’s 

qualifications for membership to the 

Committee. Equal opportunity practices 

will be followed in all appointments to 

the Committee. To ensure that the 

recommendations of the Committee 

have taken into account the needs of the 

diverse groups served by the 

Department, membership will include, 

to the extent practicable, individuals, 

with demonstrated ability to represent 

minorities, women, and persons with 

disabilities. The Secretary of Treasury 

will review the recommended 

candidates and make final selections.
