IR-2016-57, April 7, 2016 WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today announced it is requesting nominations for the Information Reporting Program Advisory Committee (IRPAC), a federal advisory committee that advises the IRS on various tax administration issues. The IRPAC presents a report to the IRS Commissioner at a public meeting each fall. Members are appointed to three-year terms, but terms are staggered so that approximately one-third of the committee membership changes each year. Nominations are currently being accepted for up to eight appointments that will begin in January 2017. The deadline for submitting applications is June 2, 2016. IRPAC members are drawn from diverse backgrounds. Members represent the taxpaying public, tax professional community, small and large businesses, colleges and universities, state tax administrations, banks, insurance companies, foreign financial institutions, as well as the software and payroll industries. Anyone interested in becoming a member of IRPAC may self-nominate or be nominated by a professional organization. All nominees must complete an application. More information including the form to apply is available on IRPAC open season page. Questions about the nomination process may be sent to publicliaison@irs.gov.
