IRS Receives Connect America Partner of the Year Award

The Internal Revenue Service today was recognized for its community-based partnerships that link low-income taxpayers with organizations that prepare tax returns for free, ensure they properly receive tax credits and assist them with ways to build a financial savings.

The IRS Stakeholder Partnership, Education and Communications (SPEC) organization received the Connect America Partner of the Year Award. The honor is presented each year at the National Conference on Community Volunteering and National Service. The IRS is the first federal agency to receive the award.

TaxMama Note: With all the budget cuts at IRS, you have no idea how few resources the good folks at SPEC have at their disposal. But I want you to know that those very people, both in Washington, DC and in Los Angeles, have worked with TaxMama over the last couple of years to fix errors in the system, or in forms or on IRS's website, that you've brought to my attention. Sometimes, they've even been able to help you resolve some of your problems, when no one else could help.

IRS's SPEC team has some of the most creative, dedicated and best-hearted people I've ever had the privilege to know. The award is well-deserved.
