In this study, modern application of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)’s in Turkish Tax Management System has been investigated and the major reason behind technology adoption behaviors of Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) has been assessed by using Extended Technology Acceptance Model (E-TAM). The study first discusses electronic tax declaration system, and then empirically tests acceptance levels of CPAs by using Structural Equation Modeling. The study employs socio psychological theories to assess individual attitudes and perceptions of technology adoption process of CPAs. Although there are number of studies in international literature on adoption of electronic tax declaration systems, very limited empirical studies exist in Turkish literature.
