The Council for Electronic Revenue Communication Advancement, Inc. is a not-for-profit trade association founded in 1994. It represents a broad cross-section of the electronic tax filing, IRS systems modernization, and state electronic revenue communities.

CERCA Spring and Fall events have featured IRS Commissioners and IRS CIOs on numerous occasions over the years, with appearances by the Director of ETA at virtually every meeting. Treasury Department officials have also spoken at these events. (See conferences and meetings page on this site for more details.)
