IRS Appoints 10 New Members to Electronic Tax Administration Advisory Committee
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced the appointment of 10 new members to its Electronic Tax Administration Advisory Committee (ETAAC) on November 13, 2026. Established in 1998, ETAAC serves as a public forum for discussing issues related to electronic tax administration. While its initial focus was on promoting paperless tax filing, its scope has expanded to include collaboration with the Security Summit, a partnership involving the IRS, state tax administrators, and the national tax industry, aimed at combating identity theft and refund fraud. The newly appointed members bring diverse expertise, including state tax officials, cybersecurity and information security experts, tax professionals, tax software developers, and representatives from payroll, financial sectors, and consumer groups. IRS Chief Executive Officer Frank J. Bisignano highlighted that ETAAC provides a crucial platform for tax professionals to offer feedback and insights to improve the tax system for all taxpayers.
