members will participate in 

subcommittees that channel their 

feedback to the IRS through the Panel’s 

parent committee. 

The IRS is seeking applicants who 

have an interest in good government, a 

personal commitment to volunteer 

approximately 200 to 300 hours a year, 

and a desire to help improve IRS 

customer service. To the extent possible, 

the TAP Director will ensure that TAP 

membership is balanced and represents 

a cross-section of the taxpaying public 

with at least one member from each 

state, the District of Columbia and 

Puerto Rico in addition to one member 

representing international taxpayers. 

Potential candidates must be U.S. 

citizens and must pass an IRS tax 

compliance check and a Federal Bureau 

of Investigation background 

investigation. Federally-registered 

lobbyists cannot be members of the 

TAP. 

TAP members are a diverse group of 

citizens who represent the interests of 

taxpayers from their respective 

geographic locations by providing 

feedback from a taxpayer’s perspective 

on ways to improve IRS customer 

service and administration of the federal 

tax system, and by identifying grassroots 

taxpayer issues. Members should have 

good communication skills and be able 

to speak to taxpayers about the TAP and 

TAP activities, while clearly 

distinguishing between TAP positions 

and their personal viewpoints. 

Interested applicants should visit the 

TAP Web site at www.improveirs.org for 

more information about the TAP. To 

complete an on-line application visit 

www.usajobs.gov or call the TAP tollfree number, 1–888–912–1227, if they 

have questions about TAP membership. 

The opening date for submitting 

applications is March 9, 2015, and the 

deadline for submitting applications is 

April 19, 2015. Interviews may be held. 

The Department of the Treasury will 

review the recommended candidates 

and make final selections. New TAP 

members will serve a three-year term 

starting in December 2015. (Note: 

highly-ranked applicants not selected as 

members may be placed on a roster of 

alternates who will be eligible to fill 

future vacancies that may occur on the 

Panel.)

TAP members may be directed to Lisa
