The Internal Revenue Service has appointed Wisconsin Department of Revenue Secretary Designee David Casey to the Electronic Tax Administration Advisory Committee (ETAAC). Casey joins nine other appointees to serve three-year terms on the committee beginning in September 2024.
Founded in 1998, the ETAAC focuses on electronic tax administration issues such as paperless tax filing, identity theft and refund fraud. Members of the committee include state tax officials, cybersecurity and information security experts, tax professionals, tax software developers, representatives from the payroll and financial sectors and various consumer groups. The ETAAC works closely with the Security Summit, a public/private partnership of IRS, state tax agencies and the tax community, to address these and similar issues.
“I have devoted much of my career to ensuring customer information is safe and protected,” Casey said. “Having a role with the ETAAC allows me to be proactive in taking steps to preserve the integrity of not only Wisconsin’s, but also the nation’s, tax system.”
Prior to his appointment as Secretary Designee, Casey served as Deputy Secretary of the department from 2019 to 2022. He has a bachelor’s degree in economics from Grinnell College. Additionally, he holds a Master of Public Administration in public policy and management from Carnegie Mellon University.
