Field Collection Prenotification Letter

Dear

I need your help with an important initiative I am undertaking to improve our service to America’s taxpayers. I want to get feedback from taxpayers like you who have worked with an assigned revenue officer to resolve a tax issue.

In a few days, you will receive a questionnaire asking your opinions about the contact you had with an assigned IRS revenue officer. Please direct it to the person who had the most contact with the IRS on this matter. The questionnaire should take less than 5 minutes to complete. Your answers will be combined with others to give us an evaluation of customer satisfaction with IRS service.

To keep all replies anonymous to the IRS, we have asked an independent research company to administer the survey. Pacific Consulting Group/Scantron employees will process the questionnaires and report only statistical totals to us.

I am committed to improving IRS service to every taxpayer. Please help me in this effort by completing and returning the questionnaire as soon as possible. If you do not receive a questionnaire, please contact the Survey Helpline at 1-866-960-7897.

Sincerely,

Robert L. Hunt

Dear

A few days ago, you received a letter from Robert L. Hunt, Director, Collection Division, asking for your help with an important research project.

We are administering a nationwide survey among people who have had contact with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). We want to know your opinions about the process of resolving a tax issue with an assigned revenue officer. Your responses are critical to the accuracy of this research.

We are sending questionnaires to a random sample of taxpayers who have had such discrepancies. All responses will be anonymous to the IRS, and your participation is voluntary. We will group your responses with others, so that no individual reply can be traced back to any one person.

The questionnaire is quite brief and should take less than 5 minutes to complete. Please use the postage-paid reply envelope to return your completed questionnaire. If you have any questions about this survey, please feel free to call the Survey Helpline at 1-866-960-7897.

The IRS is committed to improving its performance and service to the American public. A first step in this process is to gather reliable information from those who have had contact with IRS services and employees. Your honest opinions will help bring about this improvement.

Sincerely,

Dr. Peter Webb
