INTERVIEW INTRODUCTION

Thank you very much for agreeing to participate in this interview. I want to start out by introducing myself: my name is _______________ and I work for a research company called ICF, which is located near Washington, D.C. I am not an employee of the IRS.


My company has been hired by the IRS to conduct interviews with taxpayers such as yourself. We are interested in finding out how people understand and interpret questions in an IRS customer satisfaction survey. We want to know if the way the questions are worded and the answer choices provided in the survey make sense to you.


I am going to ask you some questions based on the survey questions and invite you to give your interpretation, thoughts, and opinions. There are no right or wrong answers. Also, we are not interested in your actual survey responses; rather, we are interested in your reactions to and interpretations of the questions.


IF APPLICABLE: We also have additional team members observing this interview. They have all signed confidentiality agreements in order to observe.


I also am required to let you know that for the IRS to speak with the public, we are required to have approval from the Office of Management and Budget. The approval number for this project is 1545-2274. If you have any comments regarding this study, please write to: IRS, Special Services Committee, SE:W:CAR:MP:T:M:S – Room 6129, 1111 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20224.

INTERVIEWER: VERBAL CONSENT TO PARTICIPATE MUST BE RECORDED.


Your participation in this interview is completely voluntary, and we will not be using any of your answers to the survey questions. If at any point during the interview you wish to stop, you may do so. We greatly appreciate any feedback you have to offer us. Please speak loudly and clearly so that our microphones can pick up your voice.


Do you have any questions?

  • Yes

  • No


INTERVIEWER: IF RESPONDENT ANSWERS NO, PROCEED TO START THE INTERVIEW.


This is a national IRS survey that will be administered online and over the phone. During this discussion I am going to guide you through some of the survey question through the Teams screenshare. As we go through, I’d like you to read each survey question and answer choice out loud before letting me know which answer choices to select. As you answer the questions, please also think out loud. For example, if you are surprised by an answer choice, not sure what the choice means, or unsure of what we are asking, please let me know. After you respond to each question, I will ask you a few questions about how you arrived at your answer. I might ask you if anything was unclear or confusing about the question or what certain words/phrases mean to you. Additionally, please let me know if you have thoughts or questions about something even if I don’t ask you about it.
