DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY

Internal Revenue Service

 
Electronic Tax Administration Advisory Committee; Meeting

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury.

ACTION: Notice of open meeting of the Electronic Tax Administration 
Advisory Committee (ETAAC).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In 1998 the IRS established the Electronic Tax Administration 
Advisory Committee (ETAAC). The primary purpose of ETAAC is to provide 
an organized public forum for discussion of electronic tax 
administration issues in support of the overriding goal that paperless 
filing should be the preferred and most convenient method of filing tax 
and information returns. ETAAC offers constructive observations about 
current or proposed policies, programs, and procedures, and suggests 
improvements.
    There will be a meeting of ETAAC Friday, June 18, 1999. The meeting 
will be held in the United States Capitol Building, Room HC5, 
Washington, D.C. A summarized version of the agenda along with a list 
of topics that are planned to be discussed are listed below.

administration will help achieve the goal that paperless filing should 
be the preferred and most convenient method of filing tax and 
information returns. ETAAC members are not paid for their time or

for their travel and lodging expenses to attend the public meetings,
