IRS Information/WorkshopsIRS Stakeholder Letter and Information Dear Connecticut Tax Practitioner, As the IRS Stakeholder Liaison (SL) Area Manager for Connecticut, I want to thank you for your past support and ask for your continued partnership with me and your local Stakeholder Liaisons. SL is proud to be in our fifth year as the practitioners' gateway to the IRS. We have had a busy year, holding practitioner events, conducting National Phone Forums and webinars, and establishing Web-based tax centers. Our local SLs have received thousands of phone calls from practitioners with suggestions on how to improve IRS systems. This partnership strengthens our mutual commitment to ensuring taxpayer compliance with federal tax responsibilities. SL is committed to getting you the information you need. While we do not answer tax law questions or have access to your clients' tax accounts, we can steer you in the right direction. How Stakeholder Liaison can help you navigate the IRS The best way to stay up to date with what is happening at the IRS is to use our free products and services. Subscribe to e-News for Tax Professionals for weekly news briefs. Check out Tax Hints, and Key Messages for Tax Professionals. We offer practitioner "tax centers" that link from your organization's Web site to ours, making it easy to find frequently-used Web pages. Join our free, educational National Phone Forums and webinars from the convenience of your office. And be assured that IRS.gov has more than just forms and publications. You will find the latest news, online tools, research services, guidance and contact information. Check out our new Tax Practitioner Video and Audio Presentations page, and visit IRS.gov's Spanish counterpart IRS en Espaol for translated information. How you can help your clients and colleagues Tell us when you see a problem or have a suggestion to improve our processes. We introduced the Issue Management Resolution System four years ago and have had more than a thousand IMRS issues submitted. Check out some of the successes in our IMRS report on IRS.gov. Help us find ways to further our partnership. Work with us in reaching more practitioners through joint events or webinars. Include IRS information in your newsletter and Web site. Post a tax center on your Web site. Volunteer to teach a Small Business Tax Workshop in your community. Share what you learn with your colleagues. And stay in touch with your local SL.
