TAP Annual Reports
The Taxpayer Advocacy Panel (TAP) has released its 2007 Annual Report. The report fulfills TAP’s responsibility under its charter to provide a written report describing TAP’s objectives and a self-assessment of TAP’s work relative to its objectives each year. This annual report highlights important actions of the Panel and summarizes 59 new recommendations for improvement that TAP generated for IRS consideration in 2007. The Report also provides a five-year retrospective on Panel activities and an update on the status of the 305 recommendations submitted to the IRS since TAP was established in 2002, many of which have been partially or fully implemented.
TAP is a Federal Advisory Committee made up of citizen volunteers, representing all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, who are dedicated to helping the IRS identify ways to improve customer service and responsiveness to taxpayers needs. By analyzing a large number of issues, setting priorities and conducting research, TAP has made important recommendations to improve the IRS and reduce taxpayer burden.
The 2007 TAP Annual Report is a testament to the valuable partnership between TAP and the IRS. Through this partnership TAP has been able to make positive changes to improve the tax administration system on behalf of the American Taxpayer.
