IRS Oversight Board: Case Study
What is the IRS Oversight Board?
The nine-member IRS Oversight Board was created by Congress under the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998. The Board’s responsibility is to oversee the IRS in its administration, management, conduct, direction, and supervision of the execution and application of the internal revenue laws.
Why was the Board created?
The Board was created to provide long-term focus and specific expertise in guiding the IRS so it may best serve the public and meet the needs of taxpayers. The National Commission on Restructuring the IRS recommended the creation of the Board to provide “experience, independence, and stability” to the IRS so that it may move forward in a cogent, focused direction.

About Us
The Oversight Board is a nine-member independent body charged to oversee the IRS in its administration, management, conduct, direction, and supervision of the execution and application of the internal revenue laws and to provide experience, independence, and stability to the IRS so that it may move forward in a cogent, focused direction.
Seven Board members are appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate for five-year terms. These members have professional experience or expertise in key business and tax administration areas. Of the seven, one must be a full-time federal employee or a representative of IRS employees. The Secretary of Treasury and the Commissioner of Internal Revenue are also members of the Board.
Effective January 1, 2015, there are six open seats for IRS Oversight Board members. Robert M. Tobias
