Description For a variety of its own reasons not applicable to the Committee, the agency may implement all/most of the recommendations, but few times recommendations are not implemented. This calculation includes responses from IRS indicating the recommendation has been accepted or implemented. At the time of this report, TAP did not have a system in place to follow up on the recommendations accepted by the IRS to determine if they were implemented. This will be done for recommmendations made in 2011 and after.The majority of the accepted recommendations were elevated to the IRS from Area committees via the issue elevation process. Note: Project committees provide input from TAP members to IRS program owners on projects, products or services assigned to the committee. This process provides immediate input to the IRS for consideration. Since TAP may be one of many stakeholders, IRS considers TAP's recommendations without providing a formal acceptance or rejection. Approximately 51 percent of TAP's recommendations would fall into this category which TAP identified as “Project Committee Projects Completed” in the 2010 Annual Report.
