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.

International Outreach Continues for the TAP in Australia!

The International Member of the Taxpayer Advocacy Panel (TAP), Rebecca Lammers, conducted two outreach events in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia last December.

An engaged crowd of international taxpayers attended both of the events and asked questions about the type of work and various projects TAP members take on, received information about TAP, and were informed of their Taxpayer Rights. Feedback was also solicited from the attendees about ways to improve IRS customer service. Lammers also explained how the attendees can submit comments on improveirs.org to recommend changes to the IRS or alert TAP about taxpayer issues that need to be addressed.
