ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The charter for the Electronic Tax Administration Advisory 
Committee (ETAAC) was renewed on February 27, 2018, in accordance with 
the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Michael Deneroff at (202) 317-6851, 
or send an email to publicliaison@irs.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that the charter for 
the Electronic Tax Administration Advisory Committee (ETAAC) was 
renewed on February 27, 2018, in accordance with the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2.
    The establishment and operation of the Electronic Tax 
Administration Advisory Committee (ETAAC) is required by the Internal 
Revenue Service (IRS) Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (RRA 98), 
Title II, Section 2001(b)(2).
    The purpose of the ETAAC is to provide continued input into the 
development and implementation of the IRS organizational strategy for 
electronic tax administration. The ETAAC will provide an organized 
public forum for discussion of electronic tax administration issues 
such as prevention of identity theft and refund fraud in support of the 
overriding goal that paperless filing should be the preferred and most 
convenient method of filing tax and information returns. The ETAAC 
members will convey the public's perceptions of IRS electronic tax 
administration activities, offer constructive observations about 
current or proposed policies, programs and procedures, and suggest 
improvements.
