TAP Meetings and Events

Taxpayer Advocacy Panel (TAP) members serve as listening posts to gather information from taxpayers on IRS issues to help improve the IRS. To encourage taxpayers to submit issues, TAP holds several teleconference and face-to-face meetings throughout the year. TAP meetings are open to the public – please join us!
