Our Story
The Council for Electronic Revenue Communication Advancement (CERCA) was established in 1994 at the request of the Internal Revenue Service. Its mission is to serve as a vital forum and liaison between the IRS, industry stakeholders, and key participants in the tax preparation ecosystem. By fostering collaboration among tax software firms, preparation service chains, technology integrators, and financial service companies, CERCA has played a crucial role in the growth of electronic filing and advanced electronic tax administration.
