Someone with time HAS to do this to counteract the liberals onboard.

Just another load of BS smoke and mirrors on the part of the IRS.
Remember a year or so ago, when a guy went on a hunger strike regarding the tax code and the IRS agreed to meet with him but then cancelled because they only wanted him to end his hunger strike?
More of the same, here.

They don't want REAL reform suggestions, just to know how many rings of unanswered phone it takes to really annoy people, so they keep it one ring below that, when they answer the phone.

Looks like no one is buying this IRS 'Dog and Pony show'.
Good...

The only suggestion I have for the IRS is "OUT OF BUSINESS!"
And the only panel I want to be on is the IRS "Garage Sale" panel!

Federal advisory panels have some pretty good track records in many agencies. Not sure how it has been working or would work with IRS. They do have visibility and an agency must work with them and respond to their recommendations. I worked with some advisory panels and they can be effective. They are usually made up of knowledgeable civilians from each major interest group, depending on the agency.

The Internal Revenue Service is inviting civic-minded individuals to help improve the nations tax agency by applying to be members of the Taxpayer Advocacy Panel. The panel provides a forum for citizens from each state to make suggestions regarding IRS decision making. Whaaaa-a-a-a-at? Hahahahahaha. This is HILarious.
The IRS
will listen to this panel.
They are also selling real estate in Florida.

"In addition, they must be current with their tax obligations and pass a criminal background check."If that's the case, then a lot of politicians who write tax legislation couldn't qualify to be on this panel!

We are committed to working with taxpayers to improve the customer-service focus of the IRS We're not their "customers", since we are buying nothing from them. They are allegedly our employees, and they owe us.
The only committee that should be formed from the citizenry is called Congress, and it should vote to abolish this agency of state feudalism, and repeal the 17th amendment, and take the country back to a time of freedom when we were not the slaves of bureaucrats who pocket our money and blather about all the "good things" they do to, er, for us.
To: Regulator
Oops...17th on my brain...mean't 16th amendment.
To: Regulator
Don't worry, that one (17th) needs repealing, too.
To: captain_dave
I Agree! Might even facilitate repealing the other one...
To: technochick99
The IRS isn't the problem. The problem is Congress, which has created the incomprehensible tax code. It is that code's complexity which gives bad IRS agents the ability to abuse people. There are bad people in every organization. Congress is the problem.

They only need one thing to make the IRS perfect, downsize government starting with eliminating the IRS and its $10billion budget.
A Taxreform bump for you all.
If you would like to be added to this ping list let me know.
John Linder in the House(HR25) & Saxby Chambliss Senate(S25), offer a comprehensive bill to kill all income and SS/Medicare payroll taxes outright, and provide a IRS free replacement in the form of a retail sales tax:
H.R.25,S.25
A bill to promote freedom, fairness, and economic opportunity by repealing the income tax and other taxes, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, and enacting a national retail sales tax to be administered primarily by the States.
Refer for additional information:

To: Regulator
I can see the extreme value if, say, a real Freeper managed to get on this panel. Can you imagine the valuable feedback that could result?
I'm serious!
Unfortunately, judging by the amount of time listed as likely required to do a proper job, only a retired or semi-retired individual should handle it.
