You recently responded to a mail survey from the IRS about your interaction with Adjustments and indicated that you are interested in follow up research.

This is your opportunity to have input and to tell the IRS what your experiences have been and to make recommendations for change.


Your participation with this research is voluntary, but your help on this project would be very much appreciated. As a token of our appreciation for your time, you will receive $50. Are you interested in participating? [If no, thank taxpayer for their time, and hang up]


The focus group will be held via telephone on (DATES TBD) at (Noon Eastern Time and 4PM Eastern Time). All participants will call in to an 800 number to join the conference call. The discussion will last about one hour. You will be joined by a group of about six people who, like you, have experience with the IRS’ Adjustments process. You will not be asked about your specific tax situation, only about your experience with this process. Would you be able to participate? [If no, thank them and terminate the call].
