SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: IRSAC 

was authorized under the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 

No. 92–463., the first Advisory Group to 

the Commissioner of Internal Revenue—

or the Commissioner’s Advisory Group 

(‘‘CAG’’)—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 agencywide scope of its focus as an advisory 

body to the entire agency. The IRSAC’s 

primary purpose is to provide an 

organized public forum for senior IRS 

executives and representatives of the 

public to discuss relevant tax 

administration issues. 

Conveying the public’s perception of 

IRS activities, the IRSAC is comprised 

of individuals who bring substantial, 

disparate experience and diverse 

backgrounds on the Council’s activities. 

Membership is balanced to include 

representation from the taxpaying 

public, the tax professional community, 

small and large businesses, state tax 

administration, and the payroll 

community. 

IRSAC members are appointed by the 

Commissioner of the Internal Revenue 

Service and serve a term of three years. 

There are three subcommittees that 

mirror three of the Operating Divisions 

(Small Business/Self Employed (SB/SE); 

Large Mid-Size Business (LMSB); and 

Wage & Investment (W&I); Tax Exempt 

and Government Entities (TEGE) has its 

own advisory committee. Due to the 

increased concerns regarding the tax 

gap, IRSAC has formed a fourth 

subcommittee on tax gap analysis used 

to measure voluntary compliance. 

Members are not paid for their 

services. However, travel expenses for 

working sessions, public meetings and 

orientation sessions, such as airfare, per 

diem, and transportation to and from 

airports, train stations, etc., are 

reimbursed within prescribed federal 

travel limitations. 

Receipt of nominations will be 

acknowledged, nominated individuals 

contacted, and immediately thereafter, 

biographical information must be 

completed and returned to Ms. 

Jacqueline Tilghman in National Public 

Liaison within fifteen (15) days of 

receipt. In accordance with Department 

of Treasury Directive 21–03, a clearance 

process including, fingerprints, annual 

tax checks, a Federal Bureau of 

Investigation criminal and subversive 

name check, and a practitioner check 

with the Office of Professional 

Responsibility will be conducted. 

Equal opportunity practices will be 

followed for all appointments to the 

IRSAC in accordance with the 

Department of Treasury and IRS 

policies. To ensure that the 

recommendations of the IRSAC have 

taken into account the needs of the 

diverse groups served by the IRS, 

membership shall include individuals 

who demonstrate the ability to represent 

minorities, women, and persons with 

disabilities.
