Information Reporting Program Advisory Committee (IRPAC) Open Season

http://www.irs.gov/taxpros/article/0,,id=156491,00.html

IRPAC can be comprised of no more than twenty-three (23) members.  It is important that the IRPAC continue to represent a diverse taxpayer and stakeholder base.  Accordingly, to maintain membership diversity, selection is based on applicant’s qualifications as well as the segment or group he/she represents. Membership is balanced to include representation from industries including insurance, banking, the tax professional community, small and large businesses, colleges and universities, state tax administrations, software and the payroll community.

The IRPAC advises the IRS on information reporting issues of mutual concern to the private sector and the federal government.  The committee works with the Commissioner and other IRS executives to provide recommendations on a wide range of information reporting administration issues.  A report is presented to the Commissioner of IRS each year at the Public Meeting.
