NO PAY, YOU'LL GET AUDITED, BUT NO PHYSICAL TORTURE IS REQUIRED

April 01, 2005

The IRS is looking for volunteers for its Taxpayer Advocacy Panel. The panelists are asked to

-Provide opportunities for citizen input and make recommendations to the IRS and Treasury on customer-service issues.

-Identify and prioritize taxpayer issues.

-Report annually to Treasury, the IRS and the National Taxpayer Advocate.

-Participate in meetings where taxpayers are invited to raise issues about their experiences with the IRS.

-Refer taxpayers who contact the panels to the IRS offices best able to address their issues

BUT THERE'S MORE!

Even the entry requirements are fun!

To qualify as a TAP member, applicants must be U.S. citizens and be able to commit 300 to 500 hours during the year to the panel. In addition, they must be current with their tax obligations and pass a criminal background check.

In English, we think that means "you will be audited." If you you are into masochism civic minded enough for this opportunity, click here to learn more.
