FILING SEASON 2004

For Filing Season 2004, the IRS will focus on the 1040 series income tax returns covering “IRS e-file Using a Tax Preparer” and “IRS e-file Using a Personal Computer.” Additional emphasis is being placed on the following features: “Self-Select Personal Identification Number (PIN) for e-file ; “Using e-file for Federal/State Returns”, and “Electronic Payment Options” for balance due and estimated payment options.

A major area of emphasis is to reach those taxpayers who continue to file computer prepared paper returns (v-code). Research indicates that the number of v-code returns continues to increase (76% of all v-code returns are prepared by paid preparers). Emphasis should be placed on converting v-code filers to electronically file their returns through the marketing and promotion of the benefits of e-file . We encourage Participants to reach the first-time filer population. IRS research indicates that this segment of the population continues to lag behind other segments of the population that e-file . In addition, research indicates that e-file is still lagging in the self-prepared simple segment. Pending the passage of legislation, Participants are encouraged to offer the April 30 due date extension to e-file .

The IRS expects all accepted partners to aggressively market, promote and offer e-file products and services through October 15, 2004. The IRS will supply the partners with the Filing Season and post-April 15 e-file campaign message(s), as they become available, to target additional qualified taxpayers, i.e., extensions, military returns, etc. For additional information on the various e-file programs, features, and market research, visit our web site at www.irs.gov .
