Tax Professionals Might Be Contacted About IRS Survey

In case this got buried in your inbox on Friday, the IRS said in an email to tax professionals that they could be randomly selected to participate in a voluntary survey to help the IRS improve services to practitioners and taxpayers.

The IRS said, “Survey invitations will arrive by mail with phone follow-ups. This is not a scam. Please don’t hang up. The survey will be conducted through Dec. 6 by ICF, an independent research firm. Tax professionals can complete the survey online or by mail in about 20 minutes. It covers topics like e-filing, due diligence requirements, data security, and electronic document submission. All responses are anonymous and confidential. The survey won’t ask for personal info about tax pros or their clients.”

Calls will be on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. local time from a Kansas City area code, (816), the IRS said.
