What is the Taxpayer Advocacy Panel (TAP) and How Does It Help Improve IRS Services?

Understanding the Taxpayer Advocacy Panel (TAP)

The Taxpayer Advocacy Panel (TAP) is a Federal Advisory Committee dedicated to ensuring taxpayers have a voice in IRS decision-making. This independent panel consists of 75 citizen volunteers who represent taxpayers from across the U.S., including Puerto Rico and international locations.

TAP works directly with the IRS to improve taxpayer services, policies, and overall IRS interactions, making the tax system more user-friendly.

What Does the Taxpayer Advocacy Panel Do?

TAP plays a crucial role in shaping how the IRS serves taxpayers. Its members engage in several important activities:

✅ Listening to Taxpayers – TAP collects feedback, complaints, and suggestions from individuals and businesses nationwide to identify key IRS service issues.

✅ Collaborating with the IRS – TAP members work closely with IRS program managers and decision-makers, offering recommendations for improvement.

✅ Conducting Focus Groups & Outreach – TAP serves as a focus group to test and provide feedback on IRS programs, tax forms, and online services.

✅ Providing Recommendations – TAP compiles taxpayer feedback into formal recommendations that drive real changes in IRS services and policies.
