*About the IRS Advisory Council*
The IRSAC serves as a federal advisory committee to the IRS Commissioner and executive leadership, providing an organized public forum to discuss issues relevant to tax administration. Members offer observations and advice on current or proposed IRS policies, programs and procedures.
IRS leadership also recognized the outgoing and incoming IRSAC chairs:
* *Christine Freeland* – 2025 IRSAC Chair
* *Lucinda Weigel* – 2026 IRSAC Chair
The IRSAC is administered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act by the IRS Office of National Public Liaison.
