Professor Ventry Appointed to Serve on IRS Advisory Council

Professor Dennis Ventry has been appointed by the Internal Revenue Service to the Internal Revenue Service Advisory Council (IRSAC), which provides an organized public forum for IRS officials and representatives of the public to discuss key tax administration issues.

The IRSAC, established in 1953, selects members to represent the taxpaying public, tax professionals, small and large businesses, academia, and the payroll community. The council provides the IRS Commissioner and division leadership with important feedback, observations and suggestions. Professor Ventry was one of five new members announced on January 22.

"IRSAC plays an integral role in helping run the nation's tax system. We are extremely fortunate to add these new members, who will bring a wealth of insight and experience to this important function," said IRS Commissioner John Koskinen.

Professor Ventry is an expert in tax policy and legal ethics. His research interests include tax expenditure analysis, family taxation, professional responsibility and standards of care, tax filing and administration, tax compliance, public finance, and tax and legal history. In addition, he was recently added as a co-author on the casebook, Federal Income Taxation with Paul McDaniel, Martin McMahon, Jr., and Daniel L. Simmons.
