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 works particularly
closely with IRS Electronic Tax Administration officials to provide
stakeholder input into IRS decision-making. 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.
