TAP Annual Reports
The Taxpayer Advocacy Panel (TAP) has released its 2008 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. The annual report highlights important actions of the Panel and summarizes the 112 new recommendations and completed projects TAP generated for IRS consideration in 2008.
In the report, Henry A. Mosler, 2008 TAP Chair, recognized the dedicated efforts of panel members who “worked tirelessly to meet with taxpayers across the country to learn what they had to say about the IRS.” Mosler also acknowledged the Department of the Treasury, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Taxpayer Advocate Service for their support and partnership in working towards improved IRS service and taxpayer satisfaction.
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 2008 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.
