Taxpayer Advocacy Panel program to go on temporary administrative suspension

For more than 20 years, the Taxpayer Advocacy Panel (TAP), through its team of dedicated volunteer members, has served a vital function in our tax system by advocating for the interests of taxpayers and offering critical feedback to the IRS. The insights and concerns raised by TAP members have historically played an influential role in shaping policies and redefining services that directly affect taxpayers across the nation and abroad. At this time, however, the TAP program will enter a temporary administrative suspension, effective February 13, 2026.

This will include a suspension on the acceptance of new issues and concerns related to improving IRS processes and taxpayer service. Please return to this page for additional updates as they become available.

TAP Members Conduct Outreach at IRS Nationwide Tax Forum in New Orleans

Taxpayer Advocacy Panel (TAP) members Steve Sklar, Vice Chair of Notices and Correspondence Committee, and Rita Green, Vice Chair of Special Projects Committee recently attended the IRS Nationwide Tax Forum held in New Orleans from July 11-13, 2023.

The three-day IRS outreach event provided tax professionals in attendance with the latest information on federal tax issues. This was also an opportunity for TAP to reach out to the tax practitioner community with information about our mission of improving the IRS and reducing taxpayer burden.

TAP members will also be on-hand at the four remaining tax forums taking place across the country this summer. If you plan on attending, stop by our booth to share your suggestions for improving the IRS or submit an issue at ImproveIRS.org/submit-a-suggestion/.
